Outcasts Received

Outcasts Received - Fifty

     The Lord is calling all people to Himself today but especially all those who feel outcast and abandoned.  Jesus Christ is the perfect example reaching out to the outcast.  In Matt 8:3, Jesus reached out and touched a leper when no one else would.  He is reaching out to you this day.  Draw near to the Lord and He will draw near to you.  Another time Jesus in Mat 21:31 and Luke 7:29 reached out to tax collectors and prostitutes.  In fact the charge brought against by the religious establishment is that He ate with publicans and sinners.  Jesus wants you to come to Him today.  No matter what you have done and vocation you have been involved in.  Jesus will come into your life and change you from the inside out.

     The Lord loves those that no one in society loves.  He has a special place in his heart for the homeless, widows and orphans.  Jesus again ministered to a sinful woman in Luke 7:47, Jesus said of a sinful woman that her many sins have been forgiven.  Those who have been forgiven much love much and those who have been forgiven little love little.  The Lord ministered to the woman caught in adultery.  He told her He did not condemn her.  He then told her to go and sin no more.  What a statement for all people.  The Lord receives all today.  Come to Him.

     Jesus once again reached out to a despised blind man in John 9:35.  He healed him and the man was thrown out by both his family and friends but Jesus welcomed Him.  The Lord loves to restore and rescue.  Jesus when hanging on the cross took a thief and man about to die into paradise with Him.  The Lord is waiting for you today.  So matter who you are or what you have done the Lord wants, saved, healed and restore you today.  The Spirit says come, so come to the Lord today.
