Later Jesus and his disciples were at home having supper with a collection of disreputable guests. Unlikely as it seems, more than a few of them had become followers. ~ Mark 2:15 (MSG)
KEY IDEA:
As counter-intuitive as it seems, Jesus poured his time and energy into weak people.PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for caring about the broken, the people with bad reputations, the tired, and the weak. I'm among such people. I am a receipient of your grace and care. But in my bokenness it is still way too easy for me to look down on other sinners. Give me a heart for such people -- lots of patience and sympathy. I want to be able to help broken people become followers of Jesus. Amen.
