” For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” Matthew 9:13
When Jesus was sent to this earth, he came to help those who were sick and those who were lost. He came to pick up those who were desperate and had no place to go. He came to save those who had fallen so far that they could not get out of the hole they had dug for themselves. He came to walk this earth and take each step that you and I take each day so He could take our sins and burdens with Him to the cross. Just as he saved and healed those in need when he lived on this earth, he does the same for us today. He came to rescue, heal and forgive. We must recognize that we were born sinful and continue to be sinners. We must recognize that sometimes we take the wrong path in life or sometimes trip and fall and need to be rescued. As a sinner we call upon Jesus to save us, heal us and forgive us. We call upon him because we believe, we trust, and we accept his help. As a sinner we don’t think we are better than our neighbor. We don’t gloat about our salvation, our healings or our forgiveness. Instead, we try to live our life with guidance from the Holy Spirit. We try to take each step with our Lord in mind. When we make a mistake Jesus is the first we go to for repentance and forgiveness. We try to spread his Holy Word by living a healthy life but also by admitting and being humble because we are human in nature. Jesus came to call those who need him and desire a solid relationship with him. As a sinner He is our source for a life to be lived in purity, honesty and trust. He is our one and only refuge. Jesus came to call the sinner not those who think they are righteous. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
