Rescue Mission: Rescue For My Circles

You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault. But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. 
Colossians 1:21b-23a NLT

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. 
2 Corinthians 5:19 NLT

As a Person of Grace, My Circle is Rescued When I . . .


Grow up as a person.

Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.
Luke 2:52  ESV

Reach out to others.

[Jesus] looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.” 
Luke 19:5, 7 NIV

Ask questions.

[Jesus]  asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is? "Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.”  Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?” 
Matthew 16:13b-15 NLT

Care deeply.

Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”
Mark 1:40-41 BSB

Embrace Those that are different.

Jacob’s well was there; and Jesus, tired from the long walk, sat wearily beside the well about noontime. Soon a Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.” He was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village to buy some food.The woman was surprised, for Jews refuse to have anything to do with Samaritans. She said to Jesus, “You are a Jew, and I am a Samaritan woman. Why are you asking me for a drink?” 
John 4:6-9 NLT
