TRUE LOVE WILL PURSUE COMMUNION

Luke 15:1 Now the tax collectors and “sinners” were all gathering around to

hear him. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man

welcomes sinners and eats with them.” 3 Then Jesus told them this parable:

4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he

not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he

finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes

home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with

me; I have found my lost sheep.’ - (NIV84)

Revelation 3:19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and

repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice

and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. 21 To him

who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame

and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 He who has an ear, let him hear

what the Spirit says to the churches.” - (NIV84)
