With the sinner.

"And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Matthew 9:11-13 KJV). Jesus reaches out to the lost and hurting, to those who are sick and without strength. He is near those who have a broken heart and a crushed spirit. Jesus Christ is our Savior, and He has come to save and redeem all who acknowledge Him as Lord. He saw that the world was in need of a Savior. He also saw how bound and lost humanity was and how sick and perverted man became. So, God sent down His beloved son to die, to be hung on the cross for all humanity. This salvation is for free. It is for all. All you need is faith in Jesus Christ, faith that He rose from the grave and now sits at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. So many people are tired of their sin, and so many are lost in darkness wanting and waiting for a way out. The Lord has everything we need that pertains to this life here on Earth. He has the joy, love, and rest we need. He will take all of our cares and anxieties. All it takes is just surrenderance to Him. The Lord knows what we need, and He is ever so willing to help us. Jesus didn't come to save the righteous, but to sit among the sinner, the weak, and the sick, those who are in need. God is so good! God bless you. Amen
