Today’s Reading:
Luke 5: 27-32
“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.” Luke 5:31-32
The purpose for the birth of Jesus is to reconcile us back to God. To bridge the gap between God and mankind. Sin separated us from God and mankind now dwells in darkness because, sin belongs to darkness. Since we are created in the image of God, His infinite mercy extended to us made Jesus available to us to deliver us from our sin.
In the Bible reading, vs 31-32, Jesus made an analogy of whole and sick persons. Literally, only the sick people look for a doctor to get treated. Jesus came for the sinners to repent, to turn a new leaf and forsake their sins. Sin is a killer. It kills in every moment of a sinner’s life. Sinner, repent today and don’t let the birth of Jesus be a waste upon your life today.
Jesus came for you and I, He is knocking at the door of your heart, open it today and allow Him to take charge of your life. God bless you.
