Matthew 9:10-13: No Need for a Physician

10 And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples.

11 And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

12 But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.”

13 “Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”

The salvation of Jesus is offered to everyone!

Can you believe that Jesus could save a tax collector? That he could save someone like Matthew?

Can you believe that Jesus’ offer of salvation was open even to the Pharisees?

Mercy instead of sacrifice
