Absorbing God’s Word
“On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.” Matthew 9:12
Applying God’s Word
The above scripture is such an important example for me, because Jesus didn’t discriminate. He made Himself available to everyone.
Louise and I have friends who are believers and friends who are not. Our non-believing friends know that we are not hesitant to live out our faith. We don’t force it on them, but we are not afraid to let them know we want heaven for them. God does the rest.
Four of our friends are fighting terminal cancer. Thus far, only one has accepted our offer to pray with him. One in four isn’t bad. We want heaven for all of them, though. They have to want heaven, too.
Accounting of God’s Word
Am I discriminatory when it comes to sharing Jesus with others? Do I only surround myself with those that are spiritually healthy?
