When Jesus came to this earth, He was in search of one kind of people.
Those people were the one's who recognized their need for a Savior.
They did not come to point out the flaws of others.
Nor to discuss theological views.
Instead, those who Jesus came to seek were those who found themselves in a fallen state, those who looked within & were desperate for change.
But it goes further than that;
"JESUS CAME TO OFFER THEM NEW LIFE!"
"LIFE THAT WOULD BE SATISFYING!"
"LIFE THAT THEY WOULD IN NO OTHERWISE HAVE!"
"THAT LIFE WAS ROOTED IN A RECONCILED RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR HEAVENLY FATHER!"
"THEY WERE RESTORED & GIVEN THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION!"
"THEY WERE SAVED WITH THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF BRINGING GOD GLORY!"
"GOD DEMONSTRATED HIS POWER OVER LIFE, DEATH & SIN!"
"TODAY, AS WELL AS THEN, WE ARE CALLED TO PROCLAIM GOD'S GREATNESS TO A LOST & DYING WORLD!"
"BUT WE MUST DO THIS TOGETHER!"
"WE CAN NOT AFFORD DIVISIONS!"
"THE PHARISEES & SADDUCEES, WHILE THEY KNEW ALL THE RIGHT WORDS & CARRIED OUT ALL THE SPECIFIC RITUALS, THEY FAILED TO EMBRACE THE LIVING WORD THAT STARED THEM IN THEIR FACE!"
All this to say;
"GUARD YOURSELF FROM BECOMING SO CAUGHT UP IN THE LETTER THAT YOU LOOSE SIGHT OF GOD'S LOVE!"
"WE ARE CALLED TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL!"
"LET'S DO THIS TOGETHER!"
