Matthew 9:10-13 – 10 Later, Matthew invited Jesus and his disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. 11 But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with such scum?[a]”12 When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.” 13 Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’[b] For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”
Question: Have you learned what it means when Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.”?
Application: If you know Jesus as your Savior, how are you bringing the sick to Him? Are you being a disciple for Christ?
