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
