CAME FOR REPENTERS
In response to criticism for being around known sinners, Jesus
stated "I HAVE COME TO CALL NOT THOSE WHO THINK
THEY ARE RIGHTEOUS, BUT THOSE WHO KNOW THEY
ARE SINNERS AND NEED TO REPENT" [Lk 5:32 NL]{Mt
9:13}{Mk 2:27}. One time Jesus told a story about a man who was
considered righteous, that was so full of the sin of pride he prayed
"GOD, I THANK YOU THAT I AM NOT LIKE OTHER
MEN" [Lk 18:11 NL]. Yes, we are wasting our time, if we try
convince people who consider themselves righteous, that they need
to turn from their sins. Remember Jesus example when He hung on
the cross with two criminals. Jesus only reached out to the one who
was broken and knew he had done wrong. We cannot fix what is
not broken. Are you aware of your sins?
