We spend so much time on FB judging people and speculating into the lives of others...that we forget and neglect to carry out to the true mission of Jesus. Christ is and always will be the Friend of Sinners. His love redeems, forgives, restores, and sets us on a righteous path. We tend to judge another even though it was that same love that pulled us out of the miry clay. No one has arrived and we all have a long way to go to get to glory. It doesnt matter how noble we are or how upright, all of our sin is as filthy rags. There is a song Id like to share this morning to help put things into perspective...Jesus Friend of Sinners by Casting Crowns. My prayer is that it will not only minister, but convict and enlighten us to our true purpose so that we can be the people who are called by His name...humbled by His presence. Have a blessed and PURPOSEFUL day! #livingapurposedrivenlife #nojudgementjustprayer #liftingupanother #weallhavecomeshort Here are the lyrics as well: Jesus, friend of sinners, we have strayed so far away We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing Jesus, friend of sinners, the truths become so hard to see The world is on their way to You but theyre tripping over me Always looking around but never looking up Im so double minded A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided Oh Jesus, friend of sinners Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers Let our hearts be led by mercy Help us reach with open hearts and open doors Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours Jesus, friend of sinners, the one whos writing in the sand Made the righteous turn away and the stones fall from their hands Help us to remember we are all the least of these Let the memory of Your mercy bring Your people to their knees Nobody knows what were for only what were against when we judge the wounded What if we put down our signs crossed over the lines and loved like You did Oh Jesus, friend of sinners Open our eyes to world at the end of our pointing fingers Let our hearts be led by mercy Help us reach with open hearts and open doors Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours You love every lost cause; you reach for the outcast For the leper and the lame; theyre the reason that You came Lord I was that lost cause and I was the outcast But you died for sinners just like me, a grateful leper at Your feet Cause You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever Oh Jesus, friend of sinners Open our eyes to world at the end of our pointing fingers Let our hearts be led by mercy Help us reach with open hearts and open doors Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks Yours And I was the lost cause and I was the outcast You died for sinners just like me, a grateful leper at Your feet https://youtube/watch?v=ipwEtvWL_3c
