The Importance of a Well Balanced Meal

Once Jesus asks Matthew to follow Him (Matthew 9:9) they go to his house for a huge get-together with Matthew’s friends and workmates and have a feast. Why?

Throughout the ministry of Christ you come across him reaching out to people where they are and just as they are. He does not invite them to church for a great message by him or one of his disciples rather - where they are at - that on the spot moment - he befriends them.

We see this time and again in Christ’s ministry. I guess this is an excellent model for me in today’s world, first become the friend then introduce them to a much more significant friend than I will ever be, Jesus.

This is my message today for the International Christian Assembly (ICA) from Matthew 9:10. Typically I do not have titles on my messages, however if I did it would be: “The Importance of a Well Balanced Meal.”

Have a great day-
