Afterward, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at a kiosk for collecting taxes. Jesus said to him, “Follow me.” Levi got up, left everything behind, and followed him. Then Levi threw a great banquet for Jesus in his home. A large number of tax collectors and others sat down to eat with them. The Pharisees and their legal experts grumbled against his disciples. They said, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?” Jesus answered, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor, but sick people do. I didn’t come to call righteous people but sinners to change their hearts and lives.” (Luke 5:27-32, CEB)
Those who think they have their lives together need Jesus. Because they judge others and say they are not good enough for Jesus.
None of us are good enough for Jesus. We all fall short and do not deserve to have him in our lives.
When we judge others rather than looking at ourselves, we miss the mark and really need Jesus.
Jesus came to show us how to live and maybe he realized the people that felt the most unloved would actually pick up on the understanding of loving all more than those who really loved themselves.
Love like Jesus.
Loving People. Loving God.
