—Mark 2:13-17

A common phrase posed by pastors and Christian speakers is: “Why are we surprised when we see sinners sinning?” Some Christians can react like the Pharisees who found Jesus eating with the tax collectors and sinners. They are angry that the lost are so far down the path of unrighteousness, but they fail to remember that Jesus came to save even them. None of us can “earn” our right standing with God. Jesus came to save the lost because the lost could not save themselves. Jesus is the Great Physician that the world needs to heal the brokenness of our sinful lives.
