Philippians 2:30

For the Work of Christ

For the Work of Christ. Philippians 2:30. “Because for the work of Christ, he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.”

They left their high-paying occupations – for the work of Christ. They left a favorable situation – for the work of Christ. Their families couldn’t understand why – for the work of Christ They would leave and go so far away – for the work of Christ A call from God is of the highest priority – to the work of Christ To tell the wondrous Gospel story – of the work of Christ So, never should we hesitate to tell – of the work of Christ People can be eternally saved from hell – by the work of Christ.

Some are called to other lands – for the work of Christ Others to work near at hand – for the work of Christ Some are to reach out to children – for the work of Christ Others to reach the wandering pilgrim – for the work of Christ Some work together united as one – for the work of Christ Some find they have to work alone – in the work of Christ Some are out in the field every day – doing the work of Christ Others are called to watch and pray – doing the work of Christ.

Some pay in their service the highest cost – for the work of Christ Some suffer for years, total loss – for the work of Christ Some labor daily in order to meet the needs – of the work of Christ Others spend time doing good deeds – for the work of Christ Whatever the Holy Spirit calls you to do – for the work of Christ Do it heartily; others are watching you – in the work of Christ Whether at home or far abroad – for the work of Christ Do what you do as unto the Lord – in the work of Christ.

“Lord God of the harvest, I pray again this morning for laborers to go into the harvest. I have joy in seeing some we know go gladly to work in Thy field. Is there another I should be asking to help in the work of Christ? I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
