What do you think about evangelism?
The lost are so important to God. Are they important to you? In
Luke 15:1-2 we see the setting and audience for three of Jesus most famous
parables (stories). Now the tax collectors and sinners were
all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees
and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with
them.”
Jesus is teaching through
storytelling. He wants His listeners to understand how God operates, and how
they can be part of His plan. The Pharisees and other church leaders did not
want change or to upset their plans. They never done it that way before and
they were not going to start now.
Funny how things haven’t changed
much in 2,000 years. People are still stiff necked and hard hearted, and Jesus
message has not changed. It’s not about us - It’s all about God! This week think
about the lost things and people in your world.
What does Jesus want you to do about
it? May we share God's truth with the world around us, and put a smile on His
face.
Amen?
