Encounters with Jesus — Jesus Runs with a Rough Crowd — Luke 5:27-31 •Jesus didn’t wait for the lost to come to Him but intentionally initiated relationships with the rough crowd. [Luke 5:27-28] •Jesus sat with sinners, but He didn’t sin with them. Know the difference. [Luke 5:29-30] •Jesus spent most of His time pursuing the poor in spirit instead of wasting time on the proud and self righteous. [Luke 5:31] • As We Go … Be willing to reach the rough crowd by initiating relationships and consistently demonstrating the love of Christ in practical ways.
