Jesus The Sinner Lover

If we as the Community of the Redeemed  were about the Lord’s business we would love sinners as God loves them. We would not point out their sin as if they were unaware of what sin is, nor would we condemn them or assign them to hell...we would just accept and love them as people in the community of Humanity. We would befriend them and show them who Jesus really is by our interaction with them. When people see Jesus for who He really is, they will fall in love with Him.

We as believers are not in the Judging Condemning-Business, we are in the Showing Loving-Jesus Business.

Jesus is not the enemy of sinners that they so often here over the pulpits of the institutional church...Jesus is a FRIEND of SINNERS...not so they can remain in their sin but so they can be free from their sin.

"Jesus, Friend Of Sinners"

Jesus, friend of sinners, we have strayed so far away
We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing
Jesus, friend of sinners, the truth's become so hard to see
The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me
Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided

Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours

Jesus, friend of sinners, the one who's writing in the sand
Made the righteous turn away and the stones fall from their hands
Help us to remember we are all the least of these
Let the memory of Your mercy bring Your people to their knees
Nobody knows what we're for only what we're against when we judge the wounded
What if we put down our signs crossed over the lines and loved like You did

Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours

You love every lost cause; you reach for the outcast
For the leper and the lame; they're the reason that You came
Lord I was that lost cause and I was the outcast
But you died for sinners just like me, a grateful leper at Your feet

'Cause You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever
