July 5, 2014 But the Pharisees and their teachers of religious law complained bitterly to Jesus disciples, Why do you eat and drink with such scum?* Jesus answered them, Healthy people dont need a doctor--sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners and need to repent. Luke 5:30-32, NLT The Pharisees wrapped their sin in respectability. They made themselves appear good by publicly doing good deeds and pointing at the sins of others. Jesus chose to spend time not with these proud, self-righteous religious leaders, but with people who sensed their own sin and knew that they were not good enough for God. In order to come to God, we must repent; and in order to renounce our sin, we must recognize it for what it is.
