What Jesus Did! for 03/14/2014 [from Heartlight] A Confusing Christ? At that time Jesus followers came back from town. They were surprised because they saw Jesus talking with a woman. But none of them asked, What do you want? or Why are you talking with her? — John 4:27 (ERV) Key Thought: The disciples return and find themselves confused and astonished. Jesus was doing the unthinkable—he is visiting with a woman from Samaria. During their journey with Jesus through his years of ministry, they will find themselves confused again and again. Why? Because Jesus came to reach the lost, to save the sinner, to heal sick. He reached out and touched the untouchables and welcomed the outcast and sinners. He broke the religious cultures rules of engagement as he broke through every prejudice and every barrier to reach the seeking heart. We may not know how to cross barriers as well as he did, but we know we must try. This was not just example; it is also his final command to us. He is not really the confusing Christ; he is the Christ on a mission to reach the world. Lets join him in his conquest. Todays Prayer: Father, please give me a heart for people that are seeking for your life. Give me wisdom to see the opportunities to touch these seekers that you have placed in my path. Let my love for the lost astonish others to your glory and to further the ministry of Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
