NOT FOR THOSE WHO THINK THEY'RE JUST FINE

 
Luke 5:32
 
"I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance." ESV 
 
Jesus did not come to earth to rescue people who see themselves as sufficiently righteous with no need to be saved from anything. Those are the people Jesus condemned as having a religious spirit and He just left them to their rotting prideful lives. Jesus came seeking those who were sorely aware of being trapped in sinful lives and of needing a way to get free. Jesus will answer the call of anyone who acknowledges their sin and who reaches out to Him in faith.
 
Heavenly Father, how great is Your love to us that You would seek us out to free us from our sin. We pray that You will use us to reach others by our actions and words, that they will see their need for salvation, and put their faith in You. In Your name we pray, Amen.

BLUEPRINT

 Matthew 4:17,19
"From that time, Jesus began to preach saying, 'Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.' And he said to them, 'Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.'" ESV

The Old Testament prophecies tell all about Christ's coming, His birth, childhood, baptism, and temptation in the desert. He was prepared to do the ministry He was sent to do--to bring light, life, and the blueprint for living amid a lost and dying world. Because He did it, we can carry out our ministry to Him--repent and follow Him.

Heavenly Father, we praise and worship You for Jesus Christ, His life and death that brought us back into right relationship with You. We humbly ask for Your grace to help us complete our part, repenting and growing to be like Him. In His name we pray, Amen.
