Luke 10:25-37
Quote from Charles Spurgeon
The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit Sermons, Vol. VIII Good News for You (No. 473)
I am bold to say, the only fitness for cleansing is filthiness; the only fitness for a Saviour is being lost; and the only character under which we come to Jesus is as sinners, lost, dead, and accursed
Jesus came to save sinners: the mentality of Jesus towards sinners is not angry, upset, disappointed, or even frustrated - His mentality and disposition towards sinners is compassion. He understands that we were:
Born into sin
Raised in an evil world
Robbed of dignity
Beaten by circumstance
Abandoned while vulnerable and left for dead
Religion doesn’t cross the street to help
The spiritual disciplines and service
Ritual doesn’t cross the street to help
Worship, sacred assembly, celebrations, ordinations, etc.
Redeemer crosses the street to LIFT
Practices the spiritual disciplines and worships as a lifestyle - and this is what prepares the heart, mind, soul, and strength to love GOD and Neighbor
Jesus loves us with all of His Heart, Soul, Strength, and Mind (examples)
