    Without Him, I have no idea what would become of my life. His love and protection are something money cannot buy.

    “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
    ‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭NIV
    Remembering the mercy of our Lord. Thank You Jesus.

      My problem with their song is calling Jesus friend of sinners. This implies that Jesus is ok with our sins. He's not! So I don't know if they just didn't think about it before putting it there. They could have used a more accurate term. Jesus is our Lord and King and our Savior. He is our shepherd! He is the only way to God! I just wish people would put in stuff about repentance. Not just sound like Jesus is ok with the sin of being gay for instance.

      It's taken from the Word of God
      *Luke 7:31-35*
      Jesus went on to say, “To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other:
      “‘We played the pipe for you,
      and you did not dance;
      we sang a dirge,
      and you did not cry.’
      For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, *a friend of tax collectors and sinners* .’ But wisdom is proved right by all her children.”
      *Matthew 11:16-19*
      “To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
      “‘We played the pipe for you,
      and you did not dance;
      we sang a dirge,
      and you did not mourn.’
      For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, *a friend of tax collectors and sinners* .’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
      Jesus was paraphrasing the Pharisees as recounted in Matthew 9:10-13
      While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
      On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
      The Pharisees labeled Jesus a friend of sinners, which He did not dispute. You see, at just the right time, when we were *still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.* Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: *While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.*

    A group at my college sang this song at a thanksgiving event. As I listened to to them sing "Jesus friend of sinners" I said to myself that is so true. Through the rest of the week the lyrics, "I was the lost cause I was the outcast" kept going through my head I realized that I had put a teenage girl in my church in that "lost cause" category. I was self righteous and throwing stones. Jesus never gave up on me and He hasn't given up on her either. It was wrong of me to do so. Thank you for your ministry!!!!!!

    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
    Yeah
    Jesus, friend of sinners, the one who's writing in the sand
    Make the righteous turn away and the stones fall from their hands
    Help us to remember we are all the least of thieves
    Let the memory of Your mercy bring Your people to their knees
    No one knows what we're for only 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
    You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever
    You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever
    You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever
    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
    And I was the lost 'cause and I was the outcast
    Yeah
    You died for sinners just like me, a grateful leper at Your feet

    my Mom and I absolutely love this song! Summer 1012 I was victim of exactly what this song is talking about. I was told I was going to hell for what I was wearing(which was modest btw) and that I was a disgrace to the church. After that service we were listening to the radio and this song came on. We were in tears. I am on a journey to becoming more like Jesus. We have all fallen short, no one is better than anyone else except Jesus Christ and yet He humbled Himself to die for us. That's love.

      Do you tell people they are sinners? That's why Jesus came. Jesus is not a friend of those that think they're ok without his help. He came for those that know they are a wretch (not a good person, could never get right by works) and He came to take they're sin upon his body, to save them from Hell. And without Him they are assuredly to continue their path of sin all the way their, to eternally burn. Hell is a forever place. There is no way back. Frightening but real. Playtime is over. If COVID 19 wasn't enough to frighten with death knocking for anyone, any age, then that person might be the list that are perishing anyway.

    Two men went up to the temple complex to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
    The Pharisee took his stand and was praying like this: 'God, I thank You that I'm not like other people--greedy, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of everything I get.'
    "But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even raise his eyes to heaven but kept striking his chest and saying, God, turn Your wrath from me --a sinner!'
    I tell you, this one went down to his house justified rather than the other; because everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

      I beg to differ. We are all sinners. Being saved means we are washed in the blood of salvation and have been given mercy by God. Yet that doesn't mean that we no longer sin. Only that we are forgiven of those sins. Jesus promised us He would take our place and our punishment. He didn't say we'd be perfect, like Him.

      @nerlinsamel 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Marybeth Max We are born sinners and hence we sin the fact that we did some noble/ righteous act couldnt take the sinner tag away, but now when we are born again, we are born righteous, no matter what our acts are, we are still the righteousness of GOD. Righteousness is not earned it is a GIFT!!! 1 John 4:17 AS HE IS SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. So He made as whole and perfect, lets us throw our old nature and be part of the new, true and divine nature of CHRIST. GOD bless.

I wonder why aren't we thanking him? So by singing all the songs these wonderful people made, we are thanking him. This is not the only thing, we pray, and Talk to him. I love my God and I love my life. The way God made me is just enough. He is the way.

      Patrick. 1). The Bible specifically states that water isn't a direct requirement to be saved. If that were the case, those who weren't baptized or didn't have the chance to be baptized but accepted Jesus into their hearts wouldn't be saved. It wouldn't make sense.
      Baptism by water is to finally put the cap on one's acceptance of Jesus, and (imo) is for those beyond the veil, to declare in the spiritual world as well as the physical that "this is a servant of the Most High".
      2). We are to judge other Christians, however care must be taken how we judge as well.
      3). There are specific situations, where a Christian should judge another Christian with force and with anger. But take note that this "anger" is more frustration, as in "anger of love". As in you are grieved by what you see. See the specific times Jesus was angry in the Bible, take a look at His "anger". Use that as the model.
      4). The familiar phrase, judge not that you may be judged, even though it's a cliche, comes to mind. It is mentioned in several places in the Bible, including by Jesus Himself, that because your Heavenly Father forgave you, you should turn around and forgive others.
      a). When presented with a woman caught in adultery by the Pharisees, Jesus said "let he without sin throw the first stone".
      b). It is also illustrated in the parable about the master who forgave the debt of his subordinate, only to have the subordinate go ahead and collect debt from people who owed him.
      5). Be careful not to fall into the enemy's trap. If you haven't noticed, common perceptions of Christians are that we are judgmental, vindictive people. This does NOT help our cause.
      6). Therefore, if you have discernment, discern through the Spirit. I am not saying to condone the sinful acts of those who proclaim to be Christian and be lukewarm. I am saying to use discernment in HOW you judge, lest the ultimate Judge turns his wrath on you.
      7). "We cut down people in Your name, but the sword was never ours to swing".

    Unless you choose to follow Jesus' teachings and claim his saviourship as your own, none of the promises of God are yours. Oh, you might do okay here and there, but you will never have the peace that comes ONLY from accepting, confessing and living the life He showed us how to live....I praise God with every fibre of my being....:)))))

    We all need to have the mercy and compassion of Jesus. The most loving and compassionate thing we can do is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with everyone. Jesus came to seek and save the lost and He did an awesome job of it. We need to follow in His footsteps. Show love and kindness. Jesus may have been a friend to sinners, but he also ministered to them, healed them, and fed them. There is a way that seems right to man, but in the end leads to destruction. Let's not be double-minded anymore. Let's go and preach the Good News to a world that is bound for Hell. Let's act like that people matter. The Bible says to store up your treasures in Heaven. What are those treasures He was speaking of? People! People are all that matter! That is your treasures! Where your treasures are there your heart will be also!

    I think you are absolutely correct! because of the death of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary, the world can come to God in faith to receive His grace and blessing so that they can a good life on the earth. It was the original intention of God the Father express his love through the death of His Son on that rugged Cross of Calvary. I thank God for that. I won't regret choosing Jesus since my childhood.

    Amen, Bro.Mark, this is one of your first songs I listened to. I broke down crying under the weight of the message. The song is about. Jesus came to destroy the workes of the devil.
    And to heal the broken hearted and bingo up their wounds. He did not care that it was said of him that he ate wicked sinners. He was on a mission of love and forgiveness. I wish others would come to know God's love for them personally so we can give freely
    What we have had so lavishly givevn to us So, casting crowns keep on writing and singing the songs that move people to touch the hearting souls. May God's love and soul peace be upon all of you.
