Jesus came to find and save You

16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.  Mark 2:16-17 (KJV)

One of my first pastors used to say “Before you can lead someone to Christ you must first get them lost.”  It was his way of saying that it when one recognizes they’re guilty of sin, deserve hell and want to avoid it, that they will commit their lives to God through Jesus.  The uninformed or rebellious lost do not think they need a savior and are hell bound.  How’s your spiritual health?  If you've come to realize you’re a sinner, Jesus came to find and save you.

Read your Bible.

It has been said that in the heart of man is a God shaped void which can only be filled by the presence of God. Mankind has a hunger and thirst for the fulfillment only God can bring but sadly we seek to feed the hunger and quench the thirst with worldly things. God knows what we have need of and has written us a guide to discover how to have fullness of joy and peace. Read your Bible. 4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.  1 John 1:4 (NKJV)
