Mark 2:1-17
What can I learn about friendship today?
As many of you may know or maybe you don't, this is one of my favorite Bible passages. The stories of the paralytic's 4 Friends and Levi/Matthew's calling to be a disciple.
Both stories give clear insight to what ministry MUST be. Whether ministry is "dragging" our friends to Jesus or having a party with Jesus invited, our ministry/my ministry needs to be bringing people to Jesus.
God has put people into my life that don't know Him. It is my job/purpose as a Christian to share my faith with them.
The 4 friends went through many obstacles to get their friend to Jesus. Levi just had dinner with Jesus and invited his co-workers and buddies.
So, what can I learn about friendship? Friendship needs to be purposeful. Having friends isn't the goal. The goal is to share Christ with my friends.
