“I have come to call not the righteous, but the sinners” -Jesus
Jesus calls a tax collector to be his disciple. And more than that, Jesus surrounds himself with tax collectors and others that people judged as sinners. Jesus doesn’t’ deny that they are sinners, but rather says that it is for sinners that he has come. With that statement, Jesus puts the ball in our court. Will we deny that we are sinners and so prevent Jesus from coming to us? Or will we admit that we are sinners and open the door for Jesus to come to us and save us from our sin? Are we the ones Jesus has come to save? We’ll talk about this on Sunday.
