"Sick people do"
I found myself in scripture the other morning - something I don't do enough of, but I was reminded an important lesson of who Jesus serves and why he serves:
Matthew Chapter 9, verses 9-13 read as follows:
"As Jesus was going down the road, he saw Matthew sitting at his tax collection booth. "Come, be my disciple," Jesus said to him. So Matthew got up and followed him.
That night Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to be his dinner guests, along with his fellow tax collectors and many other notorious sinners. The Pharisees were indignant. "Why does your teacher eat with such scum?" they asked his disciples.
When he heard this, Jesus replied
"Healthy people don't need a doctor - sick people do"
The he added "Now go and learn the meaning of scripture: I want you to be merciful; I don't want your sacrifices. For I have come to call sinners, not those who think they are already good enough."
I have found my faith to be strongest, selfishly, when I am most in need. As I have matured, I've found strength through faith even in times of abundance. We are all welcomed to the table of Faith through Jesus Christ.
