Last night, we spent some time with some great friends and celebrated Christmas together. Pizza, Doritos, children running wild and chocolate chip cookies consumed most of our time. There was a 20-30 minute segment of time that we just shared.
We shared about this world. We shared about how God’s light was shining. We shared about the abundance of judgement in this world. We did not always totally agree, but we never totally disagreed either.
Sharing Jesus is more than finding someone, starting a conversation and sharing the gospel.
Sometimes, someone shares with us their struggles and we share with them in an attitude of understanding, forgiveness and truth, not judgement.
When we judge others because of what they do wrong (sin), we are SINNING too!!
John 1:29 says…”The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away thsi sin of the world!”
He takes sin away!! Sin is not attractive to Him. Sin is sin to him. No one is better than the other, we are just sinners.
Luke 18:13b says “God have merce on me, a sinner.”
Jesus said that this man went home JUSTIFIED before GOD.
May we lead ourselves to that mercy first and then with understanding (not judgement) in our heart, lead others to that same abundance of mercy.
Have a great day and God Bless!!!
