Matthew 9: 1-17 ~ For this I have come
S: Matthew 12: 12-13
O: Jesus came to heal those who needed healing and to save those who needed saving no matter the cost or his reputation.
A: I think this verse to me is a reminder that no one is above or below God's love. There are those kind of people that when they come to your church for the first time, you don't automatically want to run up to them and give them a big hug and talk about Jesus' love. I think God's reminding us that he came for these people, the hurting and the broken. Smelly people need Jesus too.
P: Jesus, please help me to never judge or criticize someone that is in need of you. Help me to be gracious.
