...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." Matthew 9:11-12 NLT Ouch. Jesus is clear - I'm here for the people you see as scum. I love them. That's my mission. How are you and I doing with that? These words have fuelled Christians for generations to go across the room, across town, across the world to be Jesus to those who need the doctor... sometimes that person is right in front of us... Look out for the one in front of you today... #lovepeople #bringJesusalong #wordsofJesus #hello2016

Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with such scum?" Matthew 9:10-12 NLT Not only did Matthew keep hanging out with his mates, but it was noticed and noted by the religious leaders...they thought these people not worthy of their time or input... While it can be hard to maintain good relationships with people who's values are different from yours, don't walk away from people just because they don't fit the mold, if others look down on them...sometimes we're too easily influenced by what others think... #lovepeople #bringJesusalong #hello2016

Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. Matthew 9:10 NLT Matthew met Jesus, (became a christian - a Christ follower) but just kept on meeting with his mates...his day to day activity was the same...but...he bought Jesus along. How do we bring Jesus along in our day-to-day stuff we have to do? It's more than an attitude towards others, but how we actually see people... How can I bring Jesus along today...?? #dearlyloved #inthistogether #bringJesusalong #hello2016
