On hearing this, Jesus said to them, It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. Mark 2:17 The Pharisees had always convinced themselves they were better than others and avoided those they saw as lower than themselves, that was pride. Jesus authority and healing power could have allowed Him to choose His associates and to gain status in the synagogue. Instead, He was moved with compassion toward those who called upon Him: the sick, destitute, and unclean. Pride makes us blind to the work of God. It also blinds us to our own need for a Savior, and we withhold grace from those we feel do not deserve it. It is important to confess our pride or we will end up like the Pharisees, who took Gods grace for granted and missed opportunities to lead others to Christ. Gudmorning and God bless u
