| The Gospel According to a Modern Day Sinner |
We may think that the Gospel is left to those with a formal office. There are pluses and minuses in having certain duties exclusive to clergy. A weakness is that we tend to forget that the Gospel is every one's opportunity. In Matthew 10:40-42 Jesus spoke of a variety of individuals spreading the Gospel and his blessing on those who received them. It is worthy to note that Jesus spoke of the Apostles, but also prophets, two more formal places of service in the Church. However, he also spoke of others who brought the message as being both righteous people and even the least of those his followers. The least are differentiated from the righteous. Could it be that God’s work is done by all from the least to the greatest and that even sinners spread the Gospel?
