Bible Marginalia- Jesus Calls Matthew
Matthew 9:9-13
When Jesus calls Matthew he says to him,
"Follow me."
Matthew responds immediately
and gets up to follow Jesus.
Later, Jesus is reclining later at the table
with many tax collectors and sinners.
Quick to point this out are the Pharisees
who questioned Jesus about the company he kept.
Jesus replied,
" Those who are well have no need of a physician,
but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means,
'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.'
For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
Lord, we are all sinners
and in need of a healer.
Help me to see just how much I need you-
that that I am no better than anyone else.
I need the Great physician in my life.
Amen.
