Luke 19: 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
There were those who protested Jesus's visits to sinners. Jesus says that is just where he belongs!
It must have been hard for Jesus when people misunderstood him. Those in charge were always trying to catch him breaking the law. The people wanted him to be their kind of Savior, performing miracles and overthrowing the Romans.
Jesus knew his mission--to save us from ourselves. It was not a popular mission in his day. It is only popular with some of us even today.
Prayer: I praise You, O Lord, for Your mercy. I am thankful that you sent Your son to save me and everyone else who accepts You in faith. I pray for those who won't accept Your gift of salvation.
Amen
