When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees sawhim eating with the "sinners" and tax collectors, they

asked his disciples: "Why does he eatwith tax collectors and 'sinners'? On hearing this,

Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need adoctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the

righteous, but sinners."

They are all Needy, Poor, and Sick.We just need to find those that are

willing to admit it. God gives graceto the humble but resists the proud

What Stands in the Way of UsLearning to Love the Lost Like

Jesus Did?

What did Jesus say the end resultWould be if they followed Him?

He would make them

Fishers of Men

Why do you suppose Jesus choseThat as the target for His

Disciples?

Because it is the ultimatetest of love.

When we have to love the unlovableWe come face to face with all of our

strongholds and sin (selfishness)

God uses this struggle to teach us theway

of love.Matthew 23

11 The greatest among you will beyour servant.

What prevents you and/or yourChristian community from

reaching out to other like Jesusdid?

II Timothy 22 And the things you have heard me

say in the presence of manywitnesses

entrust to reliable men who willalso be qualified to teach others.

Matthew 2819 Therefore go and make disciplesof all nations, baptizing them in the

nameof the Father and of the Son and ofthe Holy Spirit, 20 And teachingthem to obey everything I have

commanded you. And surely I amwith you always, to the very end of

the age."

We are to go(get out of our comfort zones,face our strongholds)

We are to makedisciples(not just converts)

We are to teach themto obey(not just know a bunch of headknowledge that they never apply)

We are to entrust toreliable men(we must help them becomereliable)

Who will be qualified(This will require training andequipping)

To teach others(They are to reproducethemselves in others)

These are commands(not optional if we get around to itand have time in our schedules orhave the gift of evangelismwhichIs never called a gift in theBible
