In this Eight installment of our study we can see the difference in those who are religious and those who have a relationship with Jesus.  This begs the question, which are you?

A Story of Life
            There are three amazing parts to the scripture we have in this lesson. First we see Matthew writing about his call, second we see again those who are religious angered that Jesus spends time with “sinners” and third we have the remarkable response of Jesus.  Take time to meditate and think about these three lessons and how they apply to you.
Read Matthew 9:9-13

What is a tax collector?


Why would a tax collector be considered a “sinner”?  Does this explain the response of the religious people?




Jesus again talks about sin being like sickness.  Why?




Why does God want mercy instead of sacrifice?




How does the statement of Jesus “For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”  Affect you and congregation where you worship and serve?






Who are righteous and who are sinners?





If Jesus has called you what has He called you to be?
