Jesus gets totally ridiculed for being with people that were the outcasts of society. Luke records the series of events in Luke 5. Here’s how it basically went down:
Then Jesus says this…
Here is the application part for you today:
For whom are you looking? Are we just looking to tell people that agree with us the message we already know and cherish or are we willing to go to those that need the most help and tell them this message of hope?
Here at NHCOC I’m not here just to minister to you and tell you things you already know. I’m here to look for those whom have never heard the message or those whom need to repent of sins. Sometimes, it may be you I’m looking for, sometimes it might be fishermen, tax collectors, and those that are spiritually sick. Now, I’m not saying I’m Jesus, I’m just saying I want make sure I concentrate my ministry on those that need it the most. Same same.
P.S. Don’t be like the Pharisees and gripe and complain. NHCOC is no place for that. We got work to do saving souls and can’t be distracted by negativity. I love you so much,
~ Alex
