Jesus’ Team
‘I must work the works of Him who sent Me.’ John 9:4
Like the rest of us, Jesus sometimes got tired. John 4:6). But He was never stressed out by the job.
He knew what needed to be done and the amount of time required to do it, and He picked a team to accomplish it. Three of them, Peter, James, and John, were in His inner circle. It wasn’t that He showed favouritism; He just recognised the particular gifts of the people He worked with and what He needed from each of them to get the job done.
An important step towards accomplishing something big is knowing the kinds of people you will need. In other words, you need to know who should be on your team.
Jesus spent 3½ years training His disciples before delegating responsibility to them.
He was not afraid they would make mistakes? Rather, He told them, ‘He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.’ John 14:12.
Jesus was a team player who got things done through others. Teamwork is the glue that brings people together and keeps them together.
There are more than a billion Christians in the world today. And it all started two thousand years ago with one man who had a vision, a man who recruited and trained a team to fulfil that vision.
Jesus needs you in His team.
