LUKE 5:31-32. “And Jesus answering said unto them, they that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” THE CALL.
The first time he heard Jesus it reached to his heart Levi knew the time for change had come. There was not time to waste; he made a new start – He was willing to take Jesus to his home.
Then they all learned who gathered at his house The reason the Savior was here. The needy ones understood and made the right choice While the religious made their complaint there.
So it is with me, I cannot ignore the fact – The spiritually sick people need to hear The way of salvation and perhaps they will act As I with them the Gospel do share.
It would be seriously unwise if I gave the wrong message – Salvation means each one makes a new start. The new creation is not just a rite of passage – It begins with God’s work in the heart.
When we declare the Gospel message, take care To make sure the lost know their need. And God will make new a reality there That assures us to God’s Word they give heed.
“Keep me Father God, from carelessly presenting the Gospel lest some lost soul misunderstand their need of salvation. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
