| Calling all sinners |
|
| |
9:13 Go and learn what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.' For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners." There is a casting call going out for all sinners. Jesus wants to cast you as a Son of God in His kingdom.
Caution: The righteous are not being called. Righteous means "right living." Now don't panic because the Bible says: "There is none righteous, no not one." The best and most holy one among us is unrighteous when held up to God's righteousness. "All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned each one to his own way, and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all." James tells us that if we break one law, we are guilty of them all. Woe.
Thank God for mercy. Calling all sinners. Throw yourself on the mercy of God. Apart from Him we can do nothing. First seek God's rule in your life and His right living. That is our standard. And when we don't measure up to God's righteousness, we fall on our face and humbly receive His mercy. Calling all sinners.
