Ecwa daily devotional (food for the day) WEDNESDAY 10 JANUARY 2024
TEXT: LUKE 5:27-39
TOPIC: STOP CONDEMNING SINNERS, REACH OUT TO THEM IN PRAYER AND WITNESSING
The Lord Jesus called people from different backgrounds but on encounter with Him, they were transformed like Levi. Levi was such an unlikely one to be called because, as a tax collector for the gentile Roman Government, he was considered a betrayer of Israel for financial and material gains. Levi began calling out his former companions to come and meet the Lord Jesus.
Most of those written off who come to the saving knowledge of Christ often become more zealous than others in witnessing for Christ. For example, Saul a former Judaizer, the Samaritan woman a former prostitute and now Levi, a former tax collector.
The Pharisees saw the tax collectors as condemned sinners. The Lord Jesus, on the other hand, saw them as sick people in need of healing.
Like any disease, sin, if not treated, results in death. But in the case of sin, it is eternal death. Jesus is the only physician that can cure sin. And Christ (The New Wine) is too much to be contained in the old wine bottle of our sinful self or mere religious nominalism.
QUESTION:
Are you condemning sinners or praying and working for their salvation?
PRAYER:
O God, help me to pray and reach out to lost sinners with the message of Your salvation, in Jesus name. Amen.
