Calling Sinners

9-19-2014      Mark 2:15-17
S.       15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
O.      Jesus explains his reason for coming.
A.      I must share the message of Jesus. Inside and outside the church this message must be spread. Jesus ate and drank with the sinners. He did not sin their sins to be with them, he just did not avoid their presence. We must live a pure life as an example to others.

P.       Father; Wash away all my sin, set my feet on the right path and shine through me……today. Amen.
