Radical Risk: Lambs Among Wolves.

In reflecting on Luke 10, Dr. Las reminded us of a most radical analogy: The Christian in the world as a lamb among wolves (see Luke 10:3).

What can a lamb do in the face of wolves?

The battle is a lost cause unless we pray. Dr. Las shared, and I paraphrase here, that intercessory prayer is the one tool that can release more workers into the harvest field.

But, although we pray, we must keep in mind the words of Jesus: "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few." (Luke 10:2) Dr. Las spoke emphatically about the work of ministry as "too few doing too much", and that reality will not change.

Pastor Sam picked up this thought during his pastoral prayer. He alluded to the passage where Jesus describes His people as "the salt of the earth" (see Matthew 5:13). And, as we know, it doesn't take much salt to transform a meal.

Yes! Let us be few! One lamb, covered in intercessory prayer, can take on a pack of wolves. At the end of the day, the wolves will be ravaged and the lamb will be victorious.
