Day 4 – The Lord Who Kneels To Serve
Jesus, our Lord and Teacher, stoops to cleanse undeserving people and makes his humble love the pattern for our lives.

Jesus, our Lord and Teacher, stoops to cleanse undeserving people and makes his humble love the pattern for our lives.

Jesus is the only one with the right to condemn, yet he offers mercy that neither excuses our sin nor leaves us enslaved to it.

Jesus crosses every barrier to welcome the outsider and offers the living water that alone can satisfy our deepest thirst.

Jesus does not merely rescue a celebration from disaster: he reveals the extravagant grace and overflowing joy of God’s kingdom.

Last Sunday, in our final sermon in the Worth Sharing series, I encouraged us to pray for others, love them, tell our story and invite them to come and see Jesus for themselves.
I have been greatly encouraged by the stories our staff team have heard of people doing just that. Invitations have been offered to friends, neighbours, colleagues and family members. Some have been accepted; others have not—at least, not yet. But every gracious invitation is an act of love and a step of faith. Thank you for taking those steps.

We do not need to be pushy, impressive or able to answer every question; we can simply tell our story and invite others to come and see Jesus.

Because God is sovereign, gracious and powerful, we begin by praying for people and loving them in practical ways.

Because God is powerful, our job is not to convert people, but to point them to Jesus, trusting him to open blind eyes.
