Matthias: A Story of Faith

by

“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” – Ephesians 2:10

Matthias is a great example of someone who stayed faithful and waited for God’s plan. We read about him in the book of Acts in the New Testament. After Judas Iscariot left the group of Jesus’ disciples, the followers needed someone to take his place. One important rule was that the person had to be with Jesus from the time of John the Baptist and had to see Jesus after He rose from the dead. Matthias was one of the few who qualified.

Matthias didn’t try to become an apostle on his own. He simply followed Jesus, listened to His teachings, and helped the other believers. He stayed faithful. When the time came, he was ready for the job God had prepared for him. After he received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, Matthias went to preach the good news in Judea and Colchis. In 64 AD, people in Jerusalem stoned him. Afterward, he was beheaded by some of the Jews who wanted to hide what they had done.

Matthias’s life teaches us to always follow God’s direction, even if we feel like no one notices. God sees everything and uses our work for His greater plan. Just like Matthias, we are all called to serve in different ways, and each role is important to God.

His story also shows that God’s timing is always right. Even though Matthias wasn’t famous before becoming an apostle, God had been preparing him all along. In the same way, God might be preparing you and me for something important. We just need to stay faithful and trust Him while we wait.

Matthias’s life reminds us to accept God’s special plan for us. Whether our work is big or small, in front of others or behind the scenes, we should serve God with a faithful heart, knowing our obedience helps His work and brings glory to His name. Amen.
