GO YE AND LEARN

Today take your Bible and let's read.  



Matthew Chapter 9


Verse 10 it says

And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.


Now let's think about this.  Jesus got a place to sit and was eating.  People gathered around to eat; disciples, publicans and sinners alike.  Jesus didn't DID NOT get up and move.  

HE STAYED...  He stayed seated with them, ALL of them.     

    

Along came the Pharisees, and wanted to try to cause a stir.  They didn't think it was proper.  They thought this was unheard of.  They began to question the disciples about their Master.   

Verse 11 says:  

And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

Verse 12-13 says:  

12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.


WOW..Did you read that?  

THEY THAT BE WHOLE...NEED NOT A PHYSICIAN, 

BUT THEY THAT ARE SICK..


Jesus told the Pharisees, that people who are not sin sick, 

DO NOT need "THE GREAT PHYSICIAN"    

He then told them to GO YE and LEARN what that MEANS...

He told them that HE WOULD HAVE MERCY and NO SACRIFICE...

He said I AM NOT COME TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT SINNERS TO REPENTENCE.


COME NOW PEOPLE..do you see that example he has put forth.  

We are to be among people, 

but not be of the 

sin going on in the world.  

You have to be around all walks of people to 

TELL THEM ABOUT GOD...

BUT you do not have to partake of the 

sins of the world  to witness.

Now let's bring it home...

Hmm, think about this..

You go to the doctor when you aren't sick? Right? 

Some of you might say..Well I go to get a checkup. 

Well okay.. 

When the GREAT PHYSICIAN heals you 

and takes away your sins..

You want to KEEP in fellowship with HIM and HIS PEOPLE...

SO THERE IS YOUR CHECK UP !!!!!!

GO YE AND LEARN !!



MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU !!

Of Hens and Humans

  I saw a lot of human characteristics and actions while I sat there on the stoop at my Mama's Ruby's house.  You can learn a lot watching the happenings in a barnyard.   I know I did watching the many adventures of my grandparent's roosters and chickens.   This brought to me, after all of these years, in a featherly way what is common and wrong in the lives of people.   We are a lot like those birds. I have a beautiful group of chickens and roosters. They are all different varieties and colors.   Each one has its own style and personality.   I named one of those beautiful hens, Ellie Mae.  She was a victim of the other chickens’ unfair treatment.  She was a beautiful hen.  I would sit and watch her walk around the grass.  I was sitting on the porch cracking some pecans one day.  We were going to make some pies.   I noticed that sweet Ellie Mae had some feathers missing.   L ater that day, I saw what had ha...

JUST DUST

JUST DUST As I peered down the grocer aisle, there she was.. Standing there with her red pigtails, and fancy hair bows. I wanted to melt into the floor, and fade into the tile.  I was wearing my polyester pant suit that my Aunt Lucy made me... She was wearing store bought clothes; it was just one of the reasons  she thought she was better than me.      And well, some kids at school thought if you didn't have  those fancy store bought things that you didn't match up.   I was just not good enough.  See, my family didn't have all those fancy  things that money could afford. My daddy was a hard worker. He worked from daylight to dark.. He was a carpenter.    My Mama and Daddy gave me and  my brothers a wonderful, loving home.   They provided for us well.  They took us to church. ...

No Not One

NO NOT ONE I was sitting on the doorstep with my friend Sophie one Saturday evening, and I said, “Sophie, ask your Mama if you spend the night at my house tonight.” “Hey, great idea”, she said.   We were only seven years old, and having a sleep over was way cool.   Then she said, “Oh wait, tomorrow is Sunday.   Are you going to go to church?” I said, “Well, yes, of course I am, but you can go with us.   Come on, you will like Sunday School.   It is fun.” “Oh, I don’t know”, she said.   “Why, don’t you want to go”? She said, “I don’t think God wants me in Heaven, I have been too bad.”     I giggled at Sophie, and she gasped..I quickly apologized And gave her a hug..and said: My dear friend My Dear Lord and Savior Gave his precious son’s life blood for you   All of us are too bad for Heaven… But NONE of us are too bad To be FORGIVEN...
