Friend of Sinners: Why Jesus Cares More about Relationship Than Perfection
Friend of Sinners: Why Jesus Cares More about Relationship Than Perfection | Rich Wilkerson Jr
1 post | 3 read | 2 reading
Pastor and writer Rich Wilkerson Jr. shines a spotlight on every Christian's calling to reach the world, seek the lost, and save sinners with Jesus' scandalous message of the gospel of grace.The Bible calls Jesus a friend of sinners. What does that mean? In Friend of Sinners, Rich Wilkerson Jr. shows readers the profound implications of the reality that Jesus calls us friends not because of who we are or what we have done, but because of who he is. While he was on earth, he knew that people needed to belong before they would want to behave. He understood that the power within him was greater than the darkness around him, so he loved fearlessly.By following his example, we can have the same clear conviction and compassion for the lost that he did. His gospel of scandalous grace cannot be overestimated. When we embrace the truth that we all need Jesus equally and when we trust him to bring transformation in people's hearts, we will walk as Jesus walked, experiencing the glory of God in our own lives and in the lives of those around us.

It‘s commonly said that Christians are not like Christ. It‘s true. He was perfect and loving and caring and He died for our sins and rose from the dead. His followers are called to be like Him and we often struggle. This book was a clear reminder of how Jesus loves and pursues us but we need to trust and surrender to Him.
