Our Master’s Business

Jeremiah 13-15; John 15

“’I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything I have learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit – fruit that will last…’”

John 15:15, 16

We have been invited into the “Father and Son Kingdom Business” as friends and coworkers of Christ. Jesus pursued us in his love and grace toward us and is giving us jobs or assignments in the family business so it will grow. We are expected to evidence fruit that will last through our co-laboring with Christ. 

Who would hire friends into their business who just want to know about the retirement plan and the benefits package?

Jesus is calling us to fruitful work as friends in the family business. The satisfaction of giving ourselves to a vision that is eternal and transforms lives is something for which all of us were created. This is much more than simply going to church and trying not to sin too much!

“Lord Jesus, thank you for revealing the Father’s business to me and giving me work, for your glory.”
