Why Jesus Is The Best Employer

 

A Story About Our Employer Jesus

Asking People To Work For The Lord

     Matthew 20:1-15 tells us a story about an employer named Jesus asking people to work for the Lord. Jesus said For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. And when He had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, He sent them into His vineyard. And He went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace. And He said unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard and whatsoever is right I will give you. (Note that the terms of the contract are whatsoever is right I will give you). And they went their way.

     Notice that Jesus wants us to always be working for the Lord by witnessing, praying, going to church, and studying the Word of God. Jesus told the men that were idle doing nothing for God for three hours to work for the Lord in the vineyard and tell everyone how to be saved for Jesus. Right now Brother Bob is going to work for Jesus and tell everyone on this earth get saved right now; Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess Jesus to be your God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 

     Matthew 20:5 goes on to say Again He went out about the sixth and ninth hour and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour He went out and found others standing idle and saith unto them Why stand ye here all the day idle. (In other words don't be idle all day long doing nothing for Jesus; Don't waste time on worldly pleasures; Stay away from the gossip on facebook, twitter, and cellphone texts; Be aware of the news media but quickly turn it off and work for Jesus; Daily make time to pray, witness, study the Word of God, and attend church). Like Jesus Brother Bob says to anyone reading this: Why stand ye here all the day idle. Start working for Jesus by witnessing and telling everyone on this internet about Jesus and the Word of God.

     Look at the lame excuse the people told Jesus at Matthew 20:7 about why they were not working for Jesus. They say unto Him, Because no man hath hired us. Jesus responds and says bad excuse and one word GO and work for the Lord. He (Jesus) saith unto them Go ye also into the vineyard and whatsoever is right that shall ye receive. Notice Jesus just told them to go to work for the Lord and He'll decide what is right for the payment. Friends, Brother Bob says it is worth working for Jesus because of the benefits of eternal peace and joy. Psalm 84:10 For a day in thy courts (Jesus) is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 

     The story ends where all the workers get paid a penny (the same amount). Those that worked all day complained and said it was not fair that everyone got paid the same. Enjoy this blessed summary about this story: Some went to work early in the morning and some went to work late at night. When they got off, they all got paid the same way. And when they got paid off the same way, they came to the boss man and said Hey what are you doing? How come you paid us the same as the other cats. We've been out there working all day long and the other cats started working at the last minute. How come you paid us off that way?  The goodman of the house replied I hired you all for the same terms. I'll do what I want with my money.

The Moral Of This Story About Our Employer Jesus Is

It doesn't make any difference when you went to work for Jesus

The Question Is

IS YOU ON THE JOB 

Start working now and always for Jesus

Someone Asked Is Working For Jesus Reasonable

Romans 12:1-2 Tells Us About Our Reasonable Service For Jesus

     To anyone that says Is working for Jesus reasonable? My answer is Romans 12:1-2 that says I beseech ye therefore brethren by the mercies of God that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. In other words, it's reasonable service to daily live holy for Jesus and deny sin telling everyone about Jesus. And then Jesus told us how to perform reasonable service for the Lord. Jesus said at Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Remember Jesus said at James 4:4 whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Get transformed daily by renewing your mind while you memorize the Word of God. Psalm 1 promises that if you meditate and memorize the Word of God, whatsoever you do will prosper and God will fix everything for you. 

  Isn't It Reasonable To Work For Jesus Because 

Jesus Loved Us And Died On The Cross For Us

This Is Why Jesus Is The Best Employer To Work For

     Friends Jesus is the best employer to work for because Jesus died for our sins when we were enemies to God. Romans 5:8-10 tells us But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 

     Since it's reasonable to work for Jesus, I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this will start to daily witness and tell souls everywhere how to be saved. When the Holy Spirit tells you to offer the Lord Jesus to anyone at the grocery store, Walmart, laundromat, or the gas station, tell the person repent, confess Jesus to be God, and believe that Jesus died for them on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 

     Jesus told us to witness about the Lord's salvation at Matthew 9:37 saying The harvest truly is plenteous but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that He will send forth labourers into His harvest. And Jesus said at John 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold I say unto you; Lift up your eyes and look on the fields for they are white already to harvest. And Psalm 126:6 tells us He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Are you weeping for lost souls, sending out the Word of God (the precious seed) that will give you the benefit of rejoicing with your sheaves (lost sinners won to Jesus).

Working For Jesus Has Great Retirement Benefits

Boy What a Rest Home

     Think about these great retirement benefits after working for Jesus on this earth. Revelation 21:4 promises And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away. Jesus will give his faithful employees a mansion on a street of pure gold transparent glass in a city of pure gold clear glass. Jesus will let his employees live in a kingdom where there is no night where the foundations of the city shine like the rainbow with many precious gemstones. And best of all no bad memories and no more devil forever. Jesus promised at Isaiah 65:17 For behold I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

Since The Benefits Are Blessed When We Work For Jesus

Let's All Start Working For The Best Employer Jesus

     Because of the blessed benefits we receive for working for Jesus, pastors should want to reach the lost at any cost and win souls for Jesus. Pastors should replace their church exit signs with the words You are now entering the mission field. Remember 2 Corinthians 3:2-3 says Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the spirit of the living God, not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. In other words, saved saints are the only Jesus that lost sinners see. Therefore be a good example of holy and godly living for Jesus each day so souls can get saved for Jesus.

After a lifetime of serving God

Be A Good Worker For Jesus Like Ann Judson

     Ann Judson was a faithful worker for Jesus and is a blessed example of how to work for our Lord. Ann Judson was Adoniram Judson's wife. Ann agreed to travel with Adonorim on a ship for many days to witness to the people of Burma (now Myanmar). Ann was willing to live in the jungles of Burma and witness Jesus with her husband to the native Burmese people. Ann worked with Adoniram for years to translate the bible into the Burmese language. 

     After Great Britain began a war with the Burmese natives, Adoniram Judson was mistaken for a spy and placed in prison by the Burmese people. Ann Judson was so dedicated to serving Jesus that she daily risked her life by smuggling food to Adoniram every day by the prison while she continued to distribute the bible to the Burmese people. Ann would daily encourage Adoniram every day while the natives tortured Adoniram by hanging him upside down. 

     After Great Britain won the war against Burma, Adoniram was released from prison. Adoniram and Ann let Jesus shine to the Burmese natives by loving their enemies while they continued to share Jesus everywhere. Eventually, Adoniram and Ann finished translating the entire bible into the Burmese language. Unfortunately, Ann Judson died on a boat traveling around South Africa on a return voyage to America. Ann Judson today is remembered in Burma Myanmar by thousands of saved christians who love Jesus because Ann was willing to leave comfortable America and live in the jungles of Burma and share the love of Jesus with everyone. 

A Scripture To Encourage Women To Work For Jesus Like Ann Judson

1 Samuel 30:24 

     To any woman reading this on this earth; Be encouraged to support your husbands like Ann Judson and faithfully serve and work for our Lord Jesus. 1 Samuel 30:24 says that a woman that tarrieth by the stuff and supports her husband by daily feeding him, taking care of his clothes, and comforting him while she witnesses and serves Jesus will be rewarded with great peace and joy from Jesus. 1 Samuel 30:24 says But as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part (award from Jesus) be that tarrieth by the stuff. In other words, women that tarry by the stuff and remain faithful to Jesus while they support their husbands in the work of the Lord will receive their part and award from Jesus.
