10 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Teacher with the publicans and sinners? Jesus walked across from where it was comfortable to be uncomfortable that would be how we would see but for Jesus it was comfortable. Jesus came for the sick not the healthy. And when Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. Mark 2:17.
The first step to walk across the aisle is to pray and the second is to have and take courage that God overcame the world, and we can walk confidently. The third and final step is to walk across the aisle to actually do it. We have good intentions to do stuff like this, but we never have the courage, not today, or feel we do not have the right or ability to do this, it could be anything keeping us from this.
What you actually do when you walk across the aisle is easy and not scary at all as it seems. You do not need to be perfect to do this you just need a hand or a foot these days and shake their hand (foot bump) and say hello. you do not need to be preachy as you see so often people do and condemn them even before they come to Jesus. invite them to dinner, coffee, bowling, fishing, or anything you can think of. It doesn't have to be a table literally; it just has to be an act of doing something together with them. 46 And day by day, continuing stedfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to them day by day those that were saved. Acts 2:46-47. They fellowshipped, they ate food together in their homes and many people were added to the Kingdom of God. it was the act of walking across the aisle and doing this.
The steps again in order:
1. Pray
2. Take courage
3. Just walk across and do it
It is that easy right, not at all I will talk about that tomorrow.
Have a blessed day!!!
