TOTD, February 16 : He Has Come for the Sinners

He Has Come for the Sinners

Every now and then we might get sick. Our condition worsen and not as good as normal time. At that time, we might need to see doctor. Then, suddenly I remembered these verses:

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 9:12-13

Jesus came for the sick. For the sinners. As He has given His life for us, let’s remember to treasure His love. And never take it as a granted. May we live according to the Way and the Truth – Jesus Himself. (-fon-)

Dia Datang untuk Orang Berdosa

Terkadang, kita bisa sakit. Kondisi kita memburuk dan tidak seprima biasanya. Di saat itu, kita butuh seorang dokter. Dan tiba-tiba saja, saya teringat ayat-ayat berikut ini:

Yesus mendengarnya dan berkata: "Bukan orang sehat yang memerlukan tabib, tetapi orang sakit. Jadi pergilah dan pelajarilah arti firman ini: Yang Kukehendaki ialah belas kasihan dan bukan persembahan, karena Aku datang bukan untuk memanggil orang benar, melainkan orang berdosa."

--- Matius 9:12-13

Yesus datang bagi mereka yang sakit. Bagi para pendosa. Dia sudah memberikan hidup-Nya bagi kita, marilah kita terus ingat untuk menghargai kasih-Nya. Jangan sia-siakan. Mari kita hidup selaras dengan Jalan dan Kebenaran – Yesus sendiri. (-fon-)
