“Those who are healthy do not need a physician, but the sick do. I have not come to call the righteous to repentance but sinners.”

Luke 5:31–32.

Jesus, as the Savior of the World, needs sinners. He needs those who have turned away from Him, violated the Divine Law, violated their own dignity, violated the dignity of others and acted in a selfish and sinful way. Jesus needs sinners. Why? Because Jesus is the Savior, and a Savior needs to save. A Savior needs those who need to be saved in order to save! This is important to understand, because when we do, we will suddenly realize that coming to Jesus, with the filth of our sin, brings great joy to His Heart. It brings joy, because He is able to fulfill the mission given Him by the Father, exercising His mercy as the one and only Savior. Allow Jesus to fulfill His mission! Let Him offer mercy to you! You do this by admitting your need for mercy. Morning and have a blessed Saturday.
