"come to Me all who are weary and burdened, and
I will give you rest". Mathew 11:28
Jesus always had time for people that needed Him.
Children
Diseased
Hurting
Outcasts
Sinners
He was comfortable around them and opened His heart
Jesus had no time for the religious people
Arrogant
Self Righteous
Judgmental
Stubborn
Rebellious
He called being around them "casting pearls before swine"
Jesus pointed out the the healthy have no need for a doctor
and He came to heal the sick.
I love that Jesus not only reached out to the hurting with
open arms but he gave them an invitation and with a kind smile
He sincerely said, "come".
I love that Jesus went out of His way to put Himself in a position
to meet people that needed Him. He didn't hide in the church office
and wait for people to come to Him.
I love that Jeaus had time for 1 person - a broken social outcast that
everyone else shunned. She needed Him and He went to where she was
and healed her spiritual pain.
I could go on but this was already pretty well written about in 4 books,
you know, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John. They are in the Bible.
that book on your shelf collecting dust. It's more interesting than you
would expect. Start reading in Luke, it's the Christmas story. Careful,
you might have to reconsider some of your opinions.
God bless and keep you
Pastor Shane
