Thursday
(Luke 15:1-2) “The tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to listen to Jesus, but the Pharisees and scribes began to complain, saying, ‘This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.'” Wasn’t this a good thing that the very people who needed to hear what Jesus had to say were coming to listen to him? But the religious leaders were complaining? And does this still seem to be happening today? Lord, help us to encourage, not discourage, ALL people to come to You, including ourselves.
