Receiving Same Rewards in Heaven
“ Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward” (Matthew 10:41).
As Jesus sent out His 12 disciples
He told them
Whoever receives or welcomes them
Will receive the same reward God gives to
Them
The disciples
The laborers
God’s laborers
The pastors
The teachers
The preachers
The evangelists
The missionaries
The parachurch workers
All those who have been
Sent by God
Into the field
Will receive their reward
For their obedience
Jesus says those who
Receive
Welcome
Show hospitality
To those who have been sent
Will also receive
The same reward
As those who have been sent
The sender
The laborer
Those who welcome them
The very same rewards the laborers will receive
For their faithfulness in going
For their toils in the field
We get to receive as well
The senders
Whether it be through prayers
Or financial giving
The supporters
Whether it be showing hospitality
Prayer support
Practical support
Emotional support
While the laborers are in the field
We get to receive the same reward
Without having to
Leave our work
Our home
Our family
Our comfort
Disrupt our schedule much
Just show hospitality
To God’s people who have been sent
When Jesus sends us out into the world
To preach the Gospel
To baptize the believers
To teach believers to obey God
It requires different actions from us
To pray for God to raise workers
To send workers into the harvest
To go and make disciples ourselves
To financially support workers who have left their lives behind
To pray for those who are in the field
To receive them into our homes
To welcome those in the field
Whether it be
The worker
The sender
The welcomer
We all receive the same reward from God
The rewards waiting in heaven for the
Laborer
Will also be given to us who
Send them
Welcome them
Receive them
Support them
