TOTD, November 11

He Has Come to Call the Sinners

I think that I’m a sinner. Together with all of the people of this earth, we’re all sinners. Big sins, small sins, tiny sins, huge sins…We all make mistakes.

But, it’s not good to dwell in the guilty feeling all the time. Yes, we all make mistakes, but the good thing is: He has come to call all the sinners, not the righteous. We are all ‘sick’ and need His healing. It’s not too late to turn over a new leaf. It’s not too late to repent because we know that His mercy will be there for us. Always. Don’t let the guilt drag you down, but come to Him in humble, realizing our sins… He’ll help us. (-fon-)

On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.'For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

--- Matthew 9:12-14
