“耶稣听见了，就说：“健康的人不需要医生，有病的人才需要，”
马太福音 9:12
“But when Jesus heard this, He said, " It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.”
Matthew 9:12
Why did Jesus associate with sinners? Because we need Him to associate with us! What's the most crucial part of that truth: Jesus' desire to save or our recognition of our sinfulness? Of course the most crucial part is Jesus' desire to save because without Him, recognizing our sinfulness would only lead to despair. But without recognizing our need for His grace, His sacrifice for us is lost.
So let's praise Jesus as our loving and sacrificial Savior, and also acknowledge our need for His merciful and mighty grace!
