—Mark 2:13-17
by: K. Allen Geske.
Jesus set an important example for us that day at Levi's house. Rather than spending his time with influential leaders or high society, he ate with the lowly, the poor, and the sinners. His ministry was to those whom the religious leaders ignored. He was not on earth to lift up the proud, but to serve the needy.
Do Christians forget Jesus' example? Do we neglect the poor and destitute in favor of those we know and are comfortable with? Let's follow the Lord's example and be doctors for the sick. Don't spend so much time with saints that you ignore the sinners.
