Why He Came

"Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."

Mark 2:17

I haven't blogged all week because I have been meditating on this verse. I was chewing it over, really wanting to understand God's heart in the matter of why He came to earth from a comfortable, beautiful, majestic throne in Heaven. 

He came out of LOVE. He came to heal the broken hearted, the lowly, the wretched, the lost, the homeless, the lame. He came to heal the hearts of those who were in need spiritually, the ones who were always failing and falling and wanting to be made clean but weren't sure how to get there. He came to show them how to be clean and He made it so remarkably easy. He said to them:

"This is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life..."

John 6:40

Believe in Him to have everlasting life! He came to call the sinners to see their sin and repent. It's easy with all we are blessed with to forget our need for God, but no thing we have on this earth will give us hope like Jesus will. He's calling sinners still, He's calling us to Himself so that we may have everlasting life. Believe Him and gain hope, peace, love. He is the Great Physician, He wants to heal your wounds today. Call upon His name and you will be satisfied. Christ is sufficient. His Word is sufficient. 

Be blessed today, readers, knowing that there is a God who loves you and is calling sinners to His table to repent and have salvation. We are ALL sinners, so we are all being called to Himself. What love! Give Him all you've got and be amazed today!

Love, Jess
