Jesus very often used the home for evangelism. I would like you to read about a situation in Jesus life from Matthew 9:10-13\r\n<h6>\u201cWhile Jesus was having dinner at Matthew\u2019s house, many tax collectors and \u201csinners\u201d came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, \u201cWhy does your teacher eat with tax collectors and \u201csinners\u201d? On hearing this Jesus said, \u201cIt is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: \u201cI desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners\u201d.<\/h6>\r\nIn the verses above we can see how Matthew, who had recently given his life to Jesus, had invited Him to his house.\r\n\r\nWhen people give their lives to Jesus, they still have loads of friends and relatives who do not know Jesus as their saviour.\r\n\r\nAs Matthew also had unsaved friends, relatives and work colleagues, every time he invited Jesus to his house, he invited them too.\r\n\r\nMatthew did this purposely, so that those people could meet up with Jesus, ask Him questions and receive answers. It worked.\r\n\r\nMy dear friend, I would like you to think how you could use your times of special celebration, parties and other opportunities for bringing the gospel to your unsaved relatives, friends and acquaintances.\r\n\r\nIn 1 Corinthians 10:31 the bible reminds us that whatever we do, we must do it for the glory of the Lord:\r\n<h6>\u201cSo whatever you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God\u201d<\/h6>\r\nInviting people to our homes and celebrations, we have a great opportunity to bring the Good News to them and fulfil this verse in our lives.\r\n\r\nMay God bless you and may His peace rest on you!","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"My dear friend, I would like you to think how you could use your times of special celebration, parties and other opportunities for bringing the gospel to your unsaved relatives, friends and acquaintances.\r\n\r\nIn 1 Corinthians 10:31 the bible reminds us that whatever we do, we must do it for the glory of the Lord:\r\n\r\n\u201cSo whatever you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God\u201d","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35773,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10570","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-word"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":12,"label":"Daily Word"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/satchurch.lv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/pexels-eberhard-grossgasteiger-449461-1024x677.jpg",1024,677,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"Pastor Rufus Ajiboye","author_link":"https:\/\/satchurch.lv\/en\/author\/rufus-ajiboye\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":12,"name":"Daily Word","slug":"daily-word","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":12,"taxonomy":"category","description":"Daily word for spiritual strength","parent":0,"count":650,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","cat_ID":12,"category_count":650,"category_description":"Daily word for spiritual strength","cat_name":"Daily Word","category_nicename":"daily-word","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/satchurch.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/satchurch.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/satchurch.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/satchurch.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/satchurch.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10570"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/satchurch.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10570\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38374,"href":"https:\/\/satchurch.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10570\/revisions\/38374"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/satchurch.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/satchurch.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/satchurch.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/satchurch.lv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
