Today i was doing my YouVersion daily reading and as i was reading Mark 2 these verses really got me thinking
He came to SAVE THE LOST AT ALL COST!
I think that we as christians loose sight of that vision.
the vision to save the lost at ALL cost
I also find it interesting that the followers of Jesus were "Disreputable" according to their society
they weren't to kind of people that would typically hang out at church
they were people who didn't fit in with the religious crowd but they fit in with Jesus!
i love how Jesus peeps were the misfits!! the freaks!! weirdos!!
the people who were tired of religion and wanted a relationship!!
those were the kind of people that jesus rolled with!
it didn't matter where they had been it mattered where they were going!!
Lets save the lost at all cost
and lets love the lost at all costs
Have a great weekend weekend
15-16Later Jesus and his disciples were at home having supper with a collection of disreputable guests (Bad People). Unlikely as it seems, more than a few of them had become followers. The religion scholars and Pharisees saw him keeping this kind of company and lit into his disciples: "What kind of example is this, acting cozy with the riffraff?"
17Jesus, overhearing, shot back, "Who needs a doctor: the healthy or the sick? I'm here inviting the sin-sick, not the spiritually-fit."
This statement by Jesus is very profound and simple. I think that we often times forget in church that Jesus didn't come so that we could build bigger churches, have nicer facilities.He came to SAVE THE LOST AT ALL COST!
I think that we as christians loose sight of that vision.
