WHO CHRIST CAME FOR
Matthew 9:11-12
But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with such scum?”
When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.”
When people who say they serve the Lord become egoistic, proud and self-seeking, you know that they are not recognized by Christ. For He said ". . . by their fruit, you will know them . . ."
We came to Christ with no effort of ours, He did the work, He finished it, prepared the feast them invited us to eat.
THEN WHAT GIVES US THE AUDACITY TO LOOK DOWN ON OTHERS!
1 Corinthians 4:7
For what gives you the right to make such a judgment? What do you have that God hasn’t given you? And if everything you have is from God, why boast as though it were not a gift?
How can one who claim that they are born of God and have His Spirit be so self centred with no love for others. Their salvation itself is questionable.
What is the use of the authority you claim to have in the body of Christ, when you do not use it for the edification and benefit of the brethren, also lost souls are not brought to salvation. Your title is then a disfiguring scar and not a glorious crown. Selah
Hello, your elevation in the community of faith is for service and not for self glorying or pride. Remember that this is the reason Satan fell.
Christ rebuked the self righteous, self seeking and judgmental Pharisees:
Matthew 9:13
Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”
Let us be careful, listen to Paul:
1 Corinthians 10:12,22,24,33
If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.
What? Do we dare to rouse the Lord’s jealousy? Do you think we are stronger than he is?
Don’t be concerned for your own good but for the good of others.
I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved.
Help us Good Lord.
He calls us blessed.
Love
