FRESH RELATIONSHIPS
The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”
Matthew 11:19
Our new series has focused on 3 types of relationships:
with Jesus, with Followers, and with all the Other people.
This week will be “Fresh relationship with others”
Jesus was accused of being a friend of sinners. That was the word on the street in first-century Palestine. They called him this because it was true. This is all very important for us because, we as followers of Jesus pattern our lives after Jesus’s example. He has sent us into the world in the same Spirit of his own mission. If Jesus was a friend of sinners, we should be too!
