Labor for the Sake of Ministr
Main Idea
The lecture emphasizes that labor for ministry is not merely outward effort, but a sacrifice of love and responsibility toward every soul, as taught by the Lord Christ who laid down His life for the sheep.
Spiritual and Educational Dimension
- True ministry is based on caring for the single soul, not being satisfied with the crowds, because every soul is precious before God.
- God does not only judge us for those we served, but more for those we neglected and failed to reach.
- The servant, whether a priest or a Sunday School teacher, is responsible for knowing every individual and caring for their spiritual life.
- Spiritual neglect can be more dangerous than visible sin, because it causes souls to perish unnoticed.
- Ministry extends to every person whom God places in our path, without distinction between near or far, friend or enemy.
- Biblical examples (the Good Shepherd, the Good Samaritan, the Seraphim) show that true love acts, not just speaks.
- Every gift, time, and life is a trust from God for which we will give account on the last day.
- Success in ministry does not require many resources, but a heart filled with love for God and the work of the Holy Spirit.
- Time is short, and what is required is continuous work without stopping, even if a person begins late.
- The soul that does not win others for God loses its mission, because life is measured by the fruit we present.
