Sick Need the Physician

Luke 5:29-31   
29 Then Levi gave Him a great feast in his own house. And there were a great number of tax collectors and others who sat down with them. 30 And their scribes and the Pharisees complained against His disciples, saying, “Why do You eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” 31 Jesus answered and said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

Jesus calls us to follow, no matter where we come from - despised or loved, rich or poor, mighty or powerless.  He does not wait for us to be sinless before saving us from His judgment, but died for us while we are deep in it.  He associates with is to make us well in our souls with the healing balm of reconciling grace and mercy through His suffering, death, and resurrection.  The great soul Physician truly is the only way, the only truth, and only life eternal...
