Matthew 10:41………Working
10:41 Anyone who receives (welcomes, supports, takes in) a prophet (Pastor. Minister, Evangelist.) because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, (Spiritual truths, a fuller understanding of scripture, doctrine, and God’s word.) and anyone who receives a righteous man (Devout, faithful, godly.) because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward. (Rewards in the way of their prayers, holy example, character, influence, and inspiration.)
Continued From Book
Teaches how we all are part of the same team, we all are on the same mission, we have the same ultimate goal. ⇒ We will be rewarded not concerning whether we had a big or small role in it, but whether we were faithful to the role that God gave us to do. God may not call you to be an apostle, he may instead put a cup of cold water in your hand and see what you do with it.
Teaches those we receive Christ’ people will show it by becoming “partners” with them in their ministry and work. ⇒ God meant for Christian work to be based upon teamwork. The individual will never be able to achieve what the team can achieve. Few people are capable of going it alone. We are social creatures. Encouragement and moral support can do a lot to add to the effectiveness of someone. We are each given at least one gift by the Holy Spirit. The exercise of your gift will result in the spiritual improvement of others, which will result in the furtherance of the witness of Christ in the world. Not the least of the gifts is the gift of encouragement or exhortation. If you encourage someone in doing right, at the judgment they will be rewarded; but you will also be rewarded for what they have done. It will be accounted as a team effort.
