Show Notes

When Matthew, newly converted publican, put on a dinner for the Master, he invited his friends who were all tax collectors and sinners. The religious leaders of Jesus’ day criticized Jesus for associating with these people. Jesus answered that it is not those who are well who are in need of a physician, but rather those who are sick. Sin is an illness seated not just in one’s body, but also in the spirit and it can kill both body and soul. Jesus is the only doctor who has the remedy for sin.

 

Scriptures referenced include Matthew 9:9-13; Mark 2:14; Luke 5:32; Romans 5:8; 1 Peter 2:24; and Matthew 9:35.
