DEVOTIONAL
Today’s Reading: Acts 1:15-26
Daily Lectionary: Job 19:1-12, 21-27; John 8:1-20
“Let another take his office.“ (Acts 1:20)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. The Lord was not pleased with having only eleven disciples. Judas, who betrayed Jesus, went his own path, which ended with his taking of his own life. He was gone. Out of chaos, disorder, and death, the Gospel still be needed to be preached. But who would replace Judas? Who would be worthy enough to be called one of the Twelve? Someone well-versed in Scripture? Someone with great speaking skills? Someone relatable? No.
The Holy Spirit would put things into order, through prayer and a roll of the dice, and Matthias was selected. It is really that simple, and yet so very profound. We don’t know much about Matthias, but we know everything we need to know. He went out as a witness to the death and resurrection of Jesus. He went out preaching to, baptizing, and communing people with the wondrous gifts of Jesus. This is all that made Matthias worthy, not his background, his personality, or his charming good looks. Jesus is all that makes a pastor worthy to be called. As you hear your pastor preach and teach, as you receive from him what Jesus wants to give you, keep in mind that he isn’t worthy to do this work on his own. He needs Jesus just as much as you do: Jesus to forgive him, Jesus to strengthen him, and Jesus to go with him just as Jesus went out with Matthias.
The work of a pastor is hard, and sometimes we may not always find our pastors to be effective, relatable, or even worthy, but remember that it’s not about your pastor. It’s about Jesus. Pastors will come and they will go, but Jesus will still continue to shepherd His Church through others who are called into this Office. Say a prayer for your pastor, and encourage him from time to time, not because he is special or worthy, but because he is tasked to give you Jesus. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. -Rev. Kent Schaaf
Almighty God, You chose Your servant Matthias to be numbered among the Twelve. Grant that Your Church, ever preserved from false teachers, may be taught and guided by faithful and true pastors; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
