He Came for Sinners

Cary Cox, from Mark 2:13-17. Jesus did not come for the healthy, but the sick! All are infected with sin, but not everyone knows it. Jesus came to call sinners to repentance. In this passage, Jesus balances Truth and Love perfectly. He hangs out with sinners. But he does not affirm their sin. He calls them to repent, that they may be transformed by the grace of God in Christ!
