When you become Jesus’s co-laborer, you become an agent of change. Good change. Important change. Eternal change. Your actions can draw people into relationship with him, the Master Carpenter, who alone can completely and permanently fix all that ails humanity. And the good news is that Jesus graciously allows you—even encourages you—to join him as a co-laborer in this mission. He does not call you to simply perform good deeds—anyone can do nice things for others. Rather, Jesus’s co-laborers are called to be different. He wants you to do “good works” that shine a light on who he is and bring glory to him alone.
Over the next few days, you will read about individuals who are motivated by a desire to be obedient to Jesus’s command to love God and people. People who roll-up their sleeves, scan the horizon, and seek out ways to touch the lives of those in need or pain, just as Jesus did when he walked the earth. What these individuals have in common is a willingness to assume a posture of humility and dependency while figuratively working shoulder to shoulder with Jesus. Their intentions are clear: to reveal Jesus to others and bring glory to him rather than themselves. Their stories illustrate what is achievable when we rely on him completely for resources, strength, and wisdom to facilitate his “will on earth as it is in heaven.”

The consequences of all that went wrong in the Garden of Eden are with us today—hunger and homelessness, desperation and dishonesty, selfishness and sickness, and so much more. Jesus invites you to co-labor with him to bring relief to a hurting world and to draw people into relationship with him. Through scriptures and stories from Christians who have accepted his invitation, you will be inspired to do the same.
