JESUS, THE MODEL OF MINISTRY IN THE WORKPLACE

Jesus is our best model of ministry in the workplace. He spent more than 50% of his life as a professional in his carpentry workshop. Of the 132 public appearances of Jesus in the New Testament, 122 were in the workplace. Of the 52 parables of Jesus, 45 had a background of desktop. Of the 40 meetings of believers with God in the book of Acts, 39 were in the workplace. Most of the ministry of Jesus and the apostles was not in the synagogue, but in the workplace. More than 75% of the characters of the Bible were workers who made the ministry, as part of their work. The work in its different forms is mentioned over 800 times in the Bible, more than all the words used to express worship, music and praise.
