Who Jesus Loves?






Me and Mandeep had the time of our lives. We were so inspired at HM that we decided to try our hand at preaching! We went up and down the Arena randomly telling people:

"Jesus loves dirty, rotten, filthy, sinners like you!"

The responces were quite surprizing! People laughed, others did nothing and I'll never forget the look of that one girl's face. Mandeep went right up to here and told her the good news and her jaw just dropped. Mandeep said, "What?.... It's true!"

She said, "Yeah, but..." and was completely speechless!

But it is true though. Jesus loves dirty, rotten, filthy sinners like you and me!

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'?"

Matthew 9:10-11

But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

Matthews 9:13

I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

Luke 5:32

But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."

Luke 15:2
