Matthew 15:24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
How many times in Jesus’ ministry do you think the disciples got to the stage where they thought they were better than everybody else? I’m sure Christ would have said something each time…
We all get to the stage where we think more of ourselves than the people around us, sometimes rightly so, but mostly just out of pride!
Jesus did not come to make the church a middle class society, Jesus came to get people out of the gutters and bring them into a loving, caring church.
It would be wise for us to follow His example!
