Did You Know...Jesus came for the sinners

Did You Know

It is great to worship with your brothers and sisters in Christ. However we should spread the gospel to non-believers as well. If we are to be Christians ( christ-like) then we also should not just be in the company of believers but sinners. Jesus says he has not come to call the righteous but the sinners. We should take time to spread the word and help our fellow brothers/sisters instead of ridicule and look down on them.

The Calling of Matthew

⁹ As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
¹⁰ While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. ¹¹ When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
¹² On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. ¹³ But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’^[a] For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
