Sinners to Repentance

The Good News (Gospel) According to Matthew
Today’s Focus: Sinners to Repentance
Scripture: Matthew 9:10-14

Greetings Kingdom Citizens:
Let’s start with a basic question:

Who Needs to be saved and enter into the Kingdom?

Is it the righteous? According to Jesus, No! It is the sinners. Now as I was searching for wisdom, knowledge and understanding, Jesus explains to the Pharisees and those around that he is a physician in so many words. Those who are well do not need a doctor but those who are sick need one. The thing that makes us sick is sin. Sin is a spiritual disease which can ultimately lead to physical disease. Jesus has come to heal the sickness throughout the people. Now, as you read further Jesus knows the Pharisees did not understand it so He left it at that.

The big problem we have is, in today’s world, we cannot tell the difference between the sinners and the citizens. The citizens still act like the sinners and the sinners are becoming more confused about who Jesus truly is because why would they want a God that does not work for the people that believe in Him. Evangelism and witnessing has become so difficult, not because of satan, but because of wayward Christians parading around like true-Christians and citizens of the Kingdom.

Sin is a disease that can only be healed by forgiveness and repentance. Now after being sick, I know many of us do not want to get sick again so we try to do everything in our power to avoid what got us sick the first time. So our preventative medicine and regimen is knowledge and the Word of God! So the longer you do not read, the more chance you have of repeating those same offenses and having the same spiritual diseases.
