Mark 2:17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, ‘It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but those who are ill. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.’
We don’t often think of Jesus mixing with the people everyone loved to hate… Why?
Probably so we don’t have to follow on from His example and go and mix with those type of people!
When it was pointed out in the talking around Him, Jesus said that these are exactly the people that need Him most of all.
It is good to come together in a congregation in a church, but it is also good to reach out to the people that need Him most of all.
