Oh I’m so glad that I learn these truths.
You see that means I could be included. Regardless of my faults, short comings, background, color, He called me by his mercy and great love, to leave all behind and receive his eternal commitment to perfect that which concernth me. Psalms 138 :8a. And yes it true for you too! Since I am loved, I can love you and help you like he helped me. Run into his everlasting arms right now!
Matthew 9:9-11
9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? 12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. 13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
