This week we are scheduled to complete our current 5-week preaching series, ‘The Unique Love Of Jesus.’ There are so many people all around us who are far away from God. We know them. We like them. We would like to see them change their minds about Jesus, but so often we just don’t know what to do. In Jesus’ own day, He too was surrounded by those ‘far away’ from God. There were those who were ‘of’ the world, but there was also the religious establishment, who, even though they believed they were the chosen of God, were actually very far away from Him. How did Jesus deal with these people? Was He angry, indignant, compassionate, forgiving or something else? It is the right place for us to end this series by simply looking at how Jesus dealt with sinners of all kinds and all persuasions. May we think carefully about what we read and what we see in Him as we finish these lessons. I hope this week gets better for us all and look forward to seeing you again soon. Jim Brown
