I watched Jesus of Nazareth tonight. While watching it I kept noticing something about Jesus that I have always known, but didn’t have the revelation of. That is, His caring for the lost. It’s amazing how He was more interested in the sinners, than He was with all of the religious fanatics/pharisees. The religious fanatics could not even see what was going on, and it was extremely painful to watch them carry on in such ignorance.

Even though I know the good news of Jesus Christ, there are always new things that God brings to my attention. Or new revelations that seem to appear, and take root. We have all heard the gospel so many times, but isn’t it great when we finally connect with our hearts, what we so easily speak with our mouths?

Tonight, I was really moved to look at the lost in a whole new way. My heart has really been softened in this area, and I was able to see more clearly the heart of God. I had these visions of stopping on the side of the road where maybe a homeless man was, and just getting out and talking to him. I thought of those bus stops in town, where the people look so run down and oppressed. I imagined stopping there and feeding them all, and laughing with them.

I don’t have any money to help, but I don’t care anymore. There are many ways to help, and I want to give whatever I can to this dying community. Jesus didn’t win the lost by preaching and condemning. He did it by making people who were cast out by society feel important. By spending time with them, and sharing the love He had for them.

Please pray for me to have boldness and courage from the Lord, so that I may approach these lost and demonstrate to them the power of our Lord Jesus Christ! I will also be praying the same for all of you.
