A Friend of sinners

One of the key parts of a great life is to have friendships. Some people have lives that have few friends to share them with and this is really sad. One of the best things about having a relationship with God is to have friends that you can share your journey and Christian life with. Your friends don't all have to be believers in fact We love Christians to have many friends that are not believers. When you have a number of friends that don't have a relationship with Us it makes your life have a more  missional focus. We enjoy working though the lives of common people to touch and lead people to Us.

When I was on earth, you will read that I was a great friend of sinners. I spent so much of my time sitting down and eating with the low lifes of society that the Pharisees had some not so kind words for Me. They were always trying to find out why I, a Rabbi, had so much time for people that were not obeying God with their lives. I wanted to impress on the leaders that the lonely sinners were exactly who I was here to minister to, and that they too should focus on winning the heart of the lost. Many of the lost travelled with Me and became loyal followers of Me both when I was living and after I went back to Heaven. Being the friend of sinners is something everyone should try  to do.

There will always exist opportunities for you to have a friendship with someone that does not follow after Me. People in this world are really searching for someone that is authentic and honest. You live in a world that is getting darker and darker with terrorism on the rise. People are looking for something and someone that they can place their trust in. To be a stable and honest person who is not caught up with fear of death is something that the world is looking for now. People are scared and worried, and boy even Christians are worried. It is becoming more and more important to shine the light of God in the world. Drawing close to people who don't have faith in Me is a very profitable thing for you to do right now. Ask Me for souls and go out and be My light to the world.
