Jesus conduct a cellgroup kasama ang mga tax collectors and sinners and the religious leaders question him...why jesus associate with them?
Luke 15:1-2 NIV
15 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
The answer is:
Because the purpose of Jesus is to find a lost people just like us we are lost and God wants to reach us and that is the mission and the purpose of the cellgroup to seek the lost.
Luke 15:3-7 niv
3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
