"THE SICK" NEEDS A DOCTOR.......

 

Some of the response to the question posted yesterday:
 “It’s clear evidence that he has been deceiving himself and the church. I may not attend the church again.”
“So Pastors to enjoy”
“Depends on my mood”
“Honestly I’ve never given it a thought before, but I think I wouldn’t say anything. Just pretend like nothing happened until the person speaks up”
“Won’t be surprise cos is not new again”
“Maybe he is there to preach but to be serious I think he or she is there to enjoy nw and if he or she wan scope me I will not believe”
“Question will run through my mind…. What is he/she doing there? Is he/she there to meet someone? A lot of question….”
                These might probably be some of the thoughts running through the mind of the Pharisees, when they sighted Jesus dining with the “sinners” and tax collectors, before they accused him.
Here was his response: “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but the sinners” Matthew 9:10-13, Mark 2:13-17, Luke5:27-32. I love it.
The Pharisees and religious teachers we read about today thought that holy people should not associate with sinful people. But just the opposite is true. If people are truly holy, they will associate with sinful people, because holy people are motivated by love to share Jesus with those who need to be saved.
The message of Jesus birth, ministry, his death, his resurrection, his ascension and second coming, (The Gospel) is not meant to be restricted; you have to spread the word. “Go into the entire world” was what he commanded. Mark 16:15
A true Christian does not love sin but love “sinners”. Jesus Christ was and is a friend of “sinners” but he himself was not one, he dined with sinners but he never ate from the plate of sin. He ministered life (ZOE) to them.
         Erase all forms of prejudices (unfair feelings against anyone), most especially, against people of other tribes, nationalities, cultures that hinder the propagation of the gospel, so as to meet God’s purpose of reaching the unreached. To be continued……
Show love this week; let someone know about Jesus Christ.
Be that Doctor God will use.
I Love you…… 
Have a wonderful week.
