With the sinners

"And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?" (Mark 2:16 KJV). Jesus came to save the sinners and proclaim the Good News unto all the world. It upset the Pharisees when they saw Him sitting and eating with the sinners. He came down from Heaven to bring life to the sinners, and He sure did bring life. Today Jesus still brings life to our souls. Jesus has already taken the pain, the pain of our past, the pain of yesterday, and the pain that will come today. He came into this world to bear our burdens, our sins, and our hurts. There's no other like Him. He willingly took upon Himself the chastisement for each and everyone of us. God did this all out of love to see all humanity free from sin, doubt, addictions, pains, lusts, anger, and the many other things that don't please Him. We have a choice. Are we willing to walk with Jesus, to take up the sword of the Spirit, begin to read the Word of God, and to commune with Him daily? When we make this choice we will have eternal life in Heaven with the One who took our pain. He's the very One who has done it all for those He loves. He's acquainted with our sorrows and our griefs. He's acquainted with the burdens that we carry, and He's willing to share Himself with you and I. He was willing to come down and live within us and among the believer in the form of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is so good that He would share with us everything about the Father and how great He truly is. God bless you all. Amen.
