"Those Who Are Well Have No Need of a Physician, but those who are sick.” (Matthew 9:12)

This scripture depicts the scene where Jesus was having a meal in the house of a tax collector named Matthew and the Pharisees criticized Him for eating with such sinners. The key point is the difference between the viewpoint of the religious practitioners and Jesus’ viewpoint. From the viewpoint of the Pharisees, they considered Jesus and His disciples having meals with sinners as below their standard of common sense. The religious practitioners thought that their way of life was much better than that of the disciples. They questioned how Jesus, “this so-called Great Teacher,” could have a meal with a tax collector named Matthew.

But the reality was that our Lord came to this world to call sinners. The Lord dwelt in the house of a sinner and had a meal with them because He came to call sinners in this world. "But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.’” (Matthew 9:13)

Religious practitioners do not know themselves well and instead will always boast of their own righteousness and merits before the presence of God and people. This is why the viewpoint of religious practitioners and that of Jesus are at opposing ends.

All humans are insufficient and weak and commit sins throughout their lives. And if that is not enough, they are born with sin from the moment of birth. This is why we need Jesus, our Savior who blotted out all our sins through His baptism from John and His bloodshed. He wants us all to become the people who desire His mercy and seek diligently, the answer to the question, "Lord, how did you save me from all my sins?”
