1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.  As we head into Labor Day weekend it is in my heart to talk about the most important work on earth, the work of God.  Truly it is an honor to be involved in His work.  The church is God’s building.  I am speaking of the people,  not the brick and mortar.  In the book of Nehemiah there was a wall being constructed in Jerusalem.
The scripture tells us the people had A MIND TO WORK!  God’s building,  the church, needs laborers. According to Jesus,  the laborers are few.  In Nehemiah’s day the people were separated one far from another,  yet they were working on the same wall!  You may be reading this on the other side of the United States,  or for that matter the other side of the world,  yet we are laborers together.  We are telling others of someone who can save anyone that will turn from sin,  and put their trust in Jesus.   The building is under construction.   Soon it will be finished.  Then, my friend, Jesus will come and take His people home!  May I encourage you this day, pick up your tools, get involved in this great work, the work of God.  Laborers together!  Many of you I will never meet on earth, but because of Calvary,  we shall meet soon around God’s throne.  Oh, to hear Him say…
Well Done.  That’s reason enough to go on in this great work!  Amen.  Pastor
