JESUS ATE AND DRANK WITH SINNERS.
WE WOULD HAVE SEEN HIM AT STARBUCKS.
Jesus ate and drank with sinners, so the Gospels tell us. Probably the equivalent of our meeting at Starbucks for coffee.
A while ago I read some advice to Christians for handling contact with the World’s uncleanliness. Get away from it lest you be contaminated, was the advice in brief. Is that the mind set we should have?
I don’t think so. Obviously we should not go looking for contact with the many instances of impurity in the World. We can change channels on the TV, choose not to read ugh! stuff, and stay away from places exceedingly sinful, if we are not going there to preach the Gospel. But what about the many situations where I can’t get away?
I had a situation not too long ago where I was working with a self-employed person, just the two of us together every day. He knew I was a Christian and I spoke openly about the Lord. This guy was not in the least bothered about me being a Christian. He continued with his normal conversation of dirty jokes and generally off !! conversation. I couldn’t get away, I had to work with him for three months. At the end of that three months I discovered why God had me with this guy. He admitted he had received Jesus when he was younger. I think God had me there as a prod to him, to get himself right with God.
