Christianity gives us resources to help us live in a world that’s hard to live in. And in Luke 5, we see a resource we wouldn’t immediately think of as one — that is, that when Jesus calls us, he sends us out into the world to serve. Serving other people is draining, but it’s also strengthening. Because if you see that you should live for your neighbor’s fulfillment rather than your own fulfillment, paradoxically, that becomes a very fulfilling life. Jesus sends us out in three ways: 1) he sends us with our faith out into our work, 2) he asks us to take our faith out to the marginalized of society, and 3) he asks us to go out and help change people’s hearts toward God.
