Jesus' Scandalous Mercy

All English Service

In , Jesus told Matthew, a tax collector to “Follow Me”. Matthew, who was financially sound but deeply accused inside, dropped everything and followed him. Jesus ate with the tax collectors and sinners. He associated Himself with those who were being despised and rejected by the society, or rather at that time, the Pharisees, who perceived themselves as holy and righteous. Jesus’s heart goes to those who desire mercy, not sacrifice. Do we tend to trivialize our own bads but magnify others’? Do you see yourselves as the accused sinners or the self-righteous sinners? Do we see ourselves in need of God's mercy, instead of our own's merit?

Verses to Read

<Acts 1:6-8; 2:46-47>

 

1. The Gospel

* Misunderstanding the Gospel = Misunderstanding the Work of the Holy Spirit.

* The Holy Spirit will not be satisfied when the gospel is not being fully, clearly and boldly proclaimed through the church.

* The Gospel is the power of God for the salvation for all those who believes <Ro 1:16>. Yet, what is believing faith?

 

2. The Vision of World Evangelization

* Many Churches/believers are curtailed by the difficulties and challenges.

* Yet, it is by the Persistence and Resolution of the Holy Spirit that it will be accomplished.

* Therefore, join Him in His work.

 

3. The Communion of Saints

* Need for physical gathering of Saints:

(1) Mature Love = receiving and serving

(2) Deepening of Relationship involve sacrifices of time and energy

(3) Accountability
