Mark 2:16, 17
Two things about this verse that stand out as learning opportunities to us worship pastors and leaders:
- Those of use who are saved are the healthy ones Jesus is speaking about. Yet, we run around acting as if we need to be repaired, mended and administered to all the time. It's time we stop acting like the sick, and start ministering to those who really are. I encourage you - no matter what has happened in your life - whatever has you down or discouraged - God has already healed you. Act like it! Get up and go to the sick (the unsaved) and tell them about Jesus, the Healer.
- We are also the sinners Jesus is speaking of. He isn't interested in how righteous we think we are. We may be saved, but Jesus wants us to witness to others so they too may experience eternal life with Him in Heaven. It's time we come down from the pulpit or stage and venture out to the streets and call the sinners home! Sure, we're blessed to be on a large platform and to be able to lead people to the cross with our music and teachings, but most of those in your church are "healthy." Lets go and eat with tax collectors.
Thank you for your time.
In His service,
