“It is impossible for a believer, no matter what his experience, to keep right with God if he will not take the trouble to spend time with God.” J. Oswald Sanders

Jesus met all kinds of people. He dined with the rich, took time with the outcasts, had compassion for those who lived in sin, and helped the poor and needy. The one constant in every conversation with Jesus was how He lovingly and kindly always moved the conversation from where He met them to where they should be in faith. Jesus met with the curious in Nicodemus and the devious in the Samaritan woman and the hateful in the Pharisees – yet in each encounter we find an open and sincere conversation – not railing or berating or debating but loving! At every level of society, Jesus spoke the right words at the right time.

Sunday we will listen in to 4 conversations Jesus had and see how He listened, how He spoke and how He cared!

When I think about the conversations of Jesus I see how He was the embodiment of Micah 6:8:

“He has told you, O man, what is good;

And what does the LORD require of you

But to do justice, to love kindness,

And to walk humbly with your God?”

The very Son of God humbled among men listening to their problems and caring for their souls – we must do no less!

See you Sunday,

Pastor Mike

“Spend plenty of time with Him; let other things go, but don't neglect Him.”
