Drawing Nearer To Jesus Shouldn’t Draw Us Away From Others
Praying about our B2 Campaign, I remember the friends I left behind.....
When we have something that others don't have, we tend to hold it over them, rub it in their face, or even make them feel less than because they don't have it.
Which in turn makes us feel as if we are better than they are because we do.
money, power, status, influence, experience, friendships
It’s in our nature to want to belong.
When feel like we don’t, we tend to vilify the people or the systems that we blame for the separation.
Then we create other things that we can boast about and use to keep others out .
cause, purpose, history, identity, opression
All of these things cause one thing, division!
Mark 2:
What’s even worst is that we do this with Jesus.
Drawing near to Jesus shouldn’t draw us further from others.
Jesus called the lowliest of the low.
The tax collector.
Dishonest, extortion, thief, liar, craved money more than righteousness.
But he was called in the same way the fishermen were called.
Following Jesus is open to ALL.
One does not have to strive to be worthy of God's love, we simply have to respond to His call to follow Him.
That’s the difference between religion and Jesus.
It’s not about a set of rules to follow so that you can go to heaven, that’s miserable.
Jesus came to love, serve, and offer salvation to everyone!
Jesus does more than preach faith and repentance, He befriends them.
Jesus draws people to Himself, people that would otherwise have nothing to do with religion, people that the religious want nothing to do with.
They were drawn to Jesus, they sat with Him and they followed Him.
It is not to say that their lifestyle is acceptable, but to say that they can be transformed and are worthy of the opportunity to respond to who Jesus is.
It was safe for them to be around Jesus because they saw one of their own following Him.
Jesus attracted the type of people that He surrounded Himself with.
They didn't feel judged or looked down upon, they felt as if they belonged.
It’s because of how Jesus approached them.
Without fear, judgment, or disdain.
He called out to them, included them, loved them.
They belonged before they believed.
I think many churches today have that backwards because they operate under the perception that one must believe before they belong!
