Jesus is a Friend of Sinners

“21- Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed." (Proverbs 13:21 KJV)

The Philippine national hero Dr. Jose Rizal once said; "Tell me who your friends are, and I'll tell you who you are". Jesus is a friend of sinners but is He a sinner? No!, Jesus is holy and He is God. Proverbs thirteen verse twenty tells us of the influence of those who are full of wisdom. Apostle James said; “If you lack wisdom ask from God…” But it also show us the consequence or the opposite side of it. In verse 21 it speaks of  what will happen to those who lives in sin, and the blessing for those who lives a righteous life in God.

The Bible says; "20- He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed." (Proverbs 13:20 KJV)

We need inspiration from the Lord and the Holy Spirit of God.

“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” (John 14: 26 KJV)

We should be inspired by the Holy Spirit of God. We need inspiration from the Word of God. The book of Psalms and the book of John are one of the books in the Bible that I read when I’m discourage or just want to be encourage. That’s why we really need to read our Bible. We need inspiration from the pastors or ministers. Be inspired by the life of the servants of God. Be inspired by the life and dedication of the missionaries all over the world. Be inspired of what God is doing in the life of His people. Be inspired by the Service of His servants in the field.

I love the Words of the Lord Jesus Christ which is a comfort to every believer. Jesus said; “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.” (John 15: 26 KJV)

God Cannot Be Compared

"To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?" (Isaiah 40:18 KJV)

God is incomparable in His power, in His majesty, in His wisdom and knowledge, and He is incomparable in His love. But the greatest thing about God and His dealings with sinful men is His love and forgiveness. It has no limit and boundary.

"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy." (Micah 7:18 KJV)

“And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:” (Acts 14:15 KJV)

·       To Abraham, his passion was when he obeyed the Lord’s voice to sacrifice his son Isaac in Mount Moriah. (Genesis 22)

·       To Daniel, it was his desire to pray and to stand for the truth, and to be a testimony in the kingdom. (Daniel 1- 3)

·       To Paul, his passion was to be a witness to the Jew first and also to the Greeks. No wonder Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” (Romans 1:16 KJV)

·       To David, His passion was to kill the bear, the lions, and the giant Goliath. His passion was to do the cause of God. David said in I Samuel 17: 29 “Is there not a cause?” David’s passion was his desire to do the cause of God and for God. His passion was to bring honor to name of God by killing the giant Goliath who defies God.

As a pastor, I have my own personal passion. My passion is to see people coming to know Christ as their Lord and Savior. My passion is to see His saints grow in the Lord. My passion is to see our youth being passionate in music, in the Word of God, in the ministry and in mission. My passion for my family was for them to get saved, to know the Lord as their Lord and Savior.
