The Call of God

A Divine Work:

The entire process of calling and sending a laborer into the harvest field is a divine work in that they were:

Called by him

Mark 3:13  

Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him.

Made by him

Matthew 4:19  

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”

Taught by him

John 6:45  

It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.

Matthew 13:36-43  

36 Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”

37 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.

38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.

41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.

42 They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

Sent by him

Mark 3:14  

He appointed twelve—designating them apostles—that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach
