Matthew 9:13
“But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Matthew 9:13
Father we thank You for Jesus who endured suffering, humiliation, and the reproach of sinners that He came to save. He could do this because He never lost sight of the future joy that would be His when He accomplished His earthly mission and would return to sit at Your right hand. Though He endured the opposition of sinners, Jesus became obedient to death, even death on the cross in fulfillment of Scripture so that we might inherit eternal life through the forgiveness of our sins. How eternally grateful we are. We thank You in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

“Blessed are those who do not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers.”
“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.”
