Calling all Sinners! Lk. 5:27-32

The Pharisees and scribes shunned people they thought were sinners.

So they were stunned to see Jesus eating with them.

For by associating with sinners risked becoming like them.

Jesus however took a different view.

By associating with sinners,

It not them who was going to rub off on Jesus,

But Jesus who would rub off on them.

His holiness, His Love, His Mercy and His Compassion

Would touch their broken and sinful hearts and heal them.

So associate with all kinds of people,

Friend and foe,

Saint and sinner,

And let the Love of God bring Peace and Healing to all you meet.

God Bless
