In life a question we are asked almost daily is where are you from? Sometimes when I tell people where I currently live, I hear oh, you’re from “that side” of town. Wow. Is it bad on that side? Or something along those lines. I have always heard the statement “wrong side of the tracks”. When I was first saved and the first time, I can actually remember hearing God’s voice give me a sermon it was from Luke 14. The master of the house was having a feast and invited important people to the banquet, and they all gave excuses and didn’t come. The Bible says he told his servant to go into the “highways and byways” and bring guests to the feast. He said go into the highways and byways, not the pulpits and synagogues (Luke 14) … Now don’t get me wrong and go out saying that Sister Soldier doesn’t believe in preachers and going to church. That is NOT what I am saying at all. That is a necessity. God said in his word forsake not the assembling of yourselves together. That friends means take yourself to church! The bible also says that God gave us Pastors. They are given of God and they watch for our souls. I am thankful for my Pastor of the past three years and my Bishop of the past 25 years. I would not be the woman of God that I am today without their guidance and love. I hear the question, well sister then what are you saying. Glad you asked. I’m simply saying that yes, we need to go to church and yes, we need our preachers and pastors, but there is a GREAT need for us to go out to reach the other side. He didn’t come to seek the saints. He came to seek and save that which was lost. In Luke 14:16-23 He said: 16Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, come; for all things are now ready. 18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. 20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 21 So that servant came and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 23 And the lord said unto the servant, go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. We are the servants of Jesus Christ and in this parable, he give a type and shadow of us and Him. We are comparable to the servant in this parable and he is the Master of the house. In the parable the Master told the servant to go out into the highways and byways. He called us to seek the lost and teach them the gospel of Jesus Christ. We were all born in sin and trespass therefore we all must come to Jesus. Luke 5:31 says 31And Jesus answering said unto them, they that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.This applies to spiritual sickness just as it does physical sickness. The saints don’t need a physician, but the sinners do. If we are to walk in His footsteps, then we are to do as He did and go where He went. At times Jesus was found in the synagogue, but it was recorded more of His walk in the streets with sinners and the lost than with preachers and religious men. He was found at a well with a woman who was “much married” during her life. He was found with a woman of questionable background washing his feet with her tears and drying them with her hair. He was found eating with publicans and sinners. He was found more with “such were some of us” type people than with religious leaders. He came for the lost. He died for the lost.
