A leader with any great undertaking must choose his staff. Here Jesus is choosing his staff, his right-hand men, and his helpers in the days of his flesh. They were very ordinary men. Jesus saw the Jews as wandering and lost sheep straying without a shepherd.

Called Out: The Role Of The Church

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 14, 2022

| 1,696 views

Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, and no one else (Matthew 16:13-19). We have strayed from what the Scriptures teach about the church's purpose and responsibilities and instead allowed the world's opinions take precedence over what we are to be and do.

When we hear the word "church", most of us think of a building or membership in a particular denomination with standards, beliefs, and guidelines for worship, order, the reading and use of Scripture, and sermons. The problem is that far too many people now view the church as a symbol ...read more

We are happy to look for the lost. We are happy that Jesus, at least, is willing to venture out to find those who have strayed and to bring them home for a celebration. The problem is, at some point, many of us give up on the lost. We give up, but Jesus Goes to get you, to find the lost.

They cried out Hosanna, meaning, Save Us. We also must cry out in repentance to be saved from our sins, and be made ready as bride without spot or wrinkle awaiting the bridegroom. It does nothing unless our hearts are turned back to GOD. Repentance is a gift to come back from wherever we strayed.

In verses 1 to 5 we see the prophet uses the word “He” referring to the Suffering Servant, but in the first half of verse 6 the word changes to “We all” and ...read more
