Matthew 9
After a chapter filled with miracles of healing and confrontations with the Pharisees, the real reason behind Christ's actions is stated:
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
That is so appropriate as I enter a new school year. That is exactly how I should look at my students - having the heart of Christ.
Matthew 10
Wow! The poor disciples! In this chapter Christ lists for them ALL of the problems they will face while serving Him, and I think I have a rough time in ministry! Jesus does put in there how much He loves them and will care for them, but He doesn't end there - - He speaks once more about how hard it will be, and then ends with a short statement about rewards. In other words, my job and His love are way more important than what I get out of serving.
