Expository Sermon by Pastor and Preacher, Samuel Farag. Preached on August 2, 2020, at Richardson East Baptist Church in Richardson, TX.

Who are the kind of people we would like to see follow Jesus? Now, think about this: who is Jesus actually calling to himself? Jesus calls to sinners, choosing even those society despises! In a culture torn through sinfulness of all kinds, Jesus calls both to people just like "us", and to people who are also very different to us, inviting us all to sit and to find rest and freedom at the same table with Him.

Mark That Acceptance

One of the reasons why Jesus was hated by the religious leaders was who his friends were. Who he choose to associate with. Listen as we study the call of Levi the tax collector from Mark chapter 2.

Our scripture this week comes from Mark 2:13-17. In this passage we read these words from Jesus: “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Jesus says these words in response to the Pharisees, the righteous, who were reacting to Jesus eating with a group of tax collectors and sinners. Imagine their surprise when they hear Jesus say that He, the Son of God, did not come for them, for the righteous, for those who have it all together, but instead he came for the sinner, the lost cause, the outcast. Today we sing songs that include the words “Jesus friend of Sinner” with gratefulness and thanksgiving. But when Jesus was called “a friend of tax collectors and sinners” in Matthew 11:19 it wasn’t intended as a positive comment. The righteous were upset that Jesus befriended sinners. These actions of Jesus proved, to them, that Jesus was not ‘holy enough’ to be the Son of God. They could not understand why he would call an evil despicable man like Levi, the tax collector, to follow him. In their minds Jesus should be grateful to them and spend his time with them, the righteous, because they upheld the law. But that is not what Jesus was about. God looked at this world and saw brokenness, hatred, and sin so God sent His Son into that dirty, sin-filled world to save all sinners. In God’s eyes, no one is beyond his redemption. Not even the Pharisees, all they have to do is open their eyes and see that their good works are not what God requires of them. God desires to bring the righteous into His redeeming grace; all they have to do is open their eyes to see that they too are sinners. In His mercy, Jesus became a friend of sinners, He saw a world that was sick, that needed His healing. May we live each day in hope knowing that Jesus died, and lives for us, sinners—in need of His healing.
