"AS IS"

That was the title of Rev. Hellmanns message on Sunday evening," As Is".
Here is the scripture that he read, Matthew 9:10-13
10, And it came to pass,as Jesus sat at meat in the house,behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with Him and His disciples.
11, And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto His disciples, Why eateth you Master with Publicans and sinners?
12, But when Jesus heard that,He said unto them,They that be whole need not a Physician, but they that are sick.
13, But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance.
This message went right along with my thoughts last week. This is how we will win the sinners over to Jesus. Take them as they are and love them for who they are, not what they do. Jesus has to take it out of their heart, as he does the changing and saving, we don't. We are just an instrument for Him. We are just the clay He is the potter, Aren't you glad?
Just like to women caught in the very act of adultery, Jesus actually loved her and forgave her but told her to go and sin no more. The Samaritan women at the well, he loved her too and won her to Him. We are to be just like him, Love them just as they are. "AS IS"
