Accept Everyone

 How many of you know that Disney movie called "High-School Musical?" I watched it several times with my daughter back when she was little. I remembered this one hook in one of the songs which said,"We're all in this together," and I realized how true that statement was. No matter who you are or what you do, WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER here on planet earth.

With that in mind, as Christians, following Jesus' example, we accept everyone. We never reject anyone! We treat everyone the same. 

Why? Because we don't know who is saved and who isn't.

So love (I. Cor. 13:4-8), which is deciding in advance how you will treat people, and accept all people all the time.

During Jesus' whole time on earth, he did this. Why? To save the lost.

Luke 19:10 NIV [10] For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” 

That's why he ate and visited with anybody, while the teachers of the Law and Pharisees did not. 

In Luke 15 they judged him for doing so and he gave a 3 part parable to explain His main goal which was to seek and save the lost. All 3 parts, something is lost and then something is saved. That explained to them why He hung out with anyone. So that they could be saved.

Paul had the same mindset as Jesus did when he said:

1 Corinthians 9:22b. NIV [22]... I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 

Jesus and Paul were the best examples of accepting everybody. Why? So people could be saved.

So that's the goal, that's the purpose, that's the motivation, that people will be saved and receive eternal life too. 

All that happens by how we accept people into our lives. So accept all people into our lives.

Remember, "WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!"
