Luke 15: 1 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus.
This chapter is the response of Jesus to the Pharisees' accusations that he hung out with sinners. The stories of the prodigal son, the lost sheep and the woman with the lost coin are some of his best-known. All refer to God's interest in sinners.
It's important to be available as a Christian. You can't wall yourself off from sinners. Of course, you know that you are one too. But I feel the pull to be that voice of Christ to people who are alienated from Christianity. It seems like a mission field that God wants me on.
Prayer: Lord, I want to represent You well. I will listen for Your voice as Your Spirit directs me to let others know of Your mercy. Guide my words and deeds.
Amen
