Luke 5. 31-32

We look at people’s outward appearance, but God looks at the inward man.
Luke 5. 31-32
31 Jesus answered them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.
32 I have come to call not those who think they are righteous,
but those who know they are sinners and need to repent.”

There are a great number of people in this world who are spiritually sick.
When we the righteous look at these people,
how should we look at them?
We must see them by distinguishing them into those who are sick
and those who are not sick.
Only when we do this by the Holy Spirit.
How is it possible for us to deliver the true gospel
to someone who is not sick at heart?
We want to preach the gospel to souls,
we must first find out whether they are those whose souls are sick or not.
And once it is determined that they are indeed the sick,
we must then start sharing the right gospel of fellowship with them.
Even though they may have met all the conditions of happiness,
are physically healthy, and are bright, they are actually sick people.
We must treat them as spiritual patients.
Shalom
