Scripture-
Mark 2:17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
Observation-
Jesus came to this earth as a sacrifice to make atonement for the sins man committed and the power of evil under which they lived. God loved us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus to die on the cross for all of us and raised Him from the dead to defeat death, that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus came to seek out and save the lost and His gift of salvation is open to everyone - to all sinners; all you need to do is ask forgiveness, repent from your sins, and ask Jesus to come into your heart. Because of our humanity, none of us is perfect and we all sin and therefore we all need Jesus. As believers, we need to spread the Gospel message so others can hear it and have the opportunity to be saved.
Application-
I will live my life as a witness to Christ - to share with others the peace and joy I have in Him. Jesus commands us to love God and to love others and commissioned us to make disciples of all nations - this is the focal point of my life here on this earth. I will continue to pray to be led by the Holy Spirit and to do God's work to glorify Him.
Prayer-
Father, please us me in whatever capacity You want me to work within. I thank You so much for sending Jesus to save us, as the most amazing sacrifice who bears all of our sins and allows us to live lives of peace and joy and not guilt and shame. Thank You for my new beginning because of Jesus and for my life eternal, secured by His death and resurrection. Help others to find the joy that I know - to search for You and find You; that the lost may be saved. Help me to boldly and with strong conviction share the Gospel message with others through my words and deeds in service to You and to bring You glory. Thank You Jesus for saving me - I love You. Amen.
