Ps Jeremy 1/9/19
Gist
▶️we r a child of God
▶️Just come... (not change first)
His love will transform us
S/O:
“As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew (JESUS PICK HIM, a tax collector) sitting at the tax collector’s booth.
***FOLLOW CHRIST FIRST (even w baggage) = COME FIRST, THEN CHANGE..***
MUST KNOW OUR IDENTITY,
***we r his children***
Just like parents, they love us.
B4 WE CHANGED, HE DIED
B4 REPENTED.
WE CHANGE WHEN EXPERIENCING GOD’S LOVE
“Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him. While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’
For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.””
**BCOZ I’M A SINNER (imperfect)I FOLLOW CHRIST**
NOT I’M RIGHTEOUS FIRST THEN FOLLOW HIM BUT BEING A SINNER THEN FOLLOW HIM
Matthew 9:9-13 NIV
Who are we?
We must know who He is.
Devotion. Seek after him.
Therefore “daily routine” like meals to “fellowship”. Both way, pray and hears from Him.
Drama: when Jesus leads us by his hands, we are blind folded. We must leave our burden behinds (chair) and further away we walk, further away the burden for us. Hold on to Christ and trusting in Him leading us.
A:
Despite imperfection of our children, we love our children. Let then come into our presence first before even the change take place.
Many time, we want them to change first. Come to us first. Just like we go to God first.
***Thru food*** foster good fellowship. God is speaking loud, that’s my now, heart desire...having meals is a satisfaction being connected and together.
