A People Called by God

By Pastor Paul

And you also are among those who are called to be saints… Romans 1:6

Sinner, it is cold outside. Come out of darkness. Come out of night into Jesus’ House. Come out of the cold death into the warmth of Jesus’ life. Your feet are bruised, tripping over rocks. Your hands are cut from falling hard. Your face is smeared with years of filth. So was mine. You are naked. Jesus will clothe you. You are hungry. Jesus will feed you. Please, sinner, come inside. Come inside…ah, now isn’t that better. Welcome to Jesus’ House.

Saint, isn’t it warm inside. Eat your fill at the table. Look. Jesus washed your cuts. He cleaned your wounds. You might have scars for a while but in time they go away. I still have some scars too. Look. He washed you. Put these robes on. They fit perfectly. Smile, you are home. We look like family. Here, Jesus left us a note. He will be back soon but before we see Jesus come to the door and help.

Priest, call to the cold outside. Call the lost from darkness. Call out into night from Jesus’ House. Call out to the cold dead. Call them into the warmth of Jesus’ life. Their feet are bruised, tripping over rocks. Their hands are cut from falling hard. Their face is smeared with years of filth. So was ours. Jesus will clothe them. They are hungry. Jesus will feed them. Please, Priest, call outside. Call outside…Welcome them to Jesus’ House.


... Sinner, it is cold outside.
