Text for the Day -- Luke 5:29-32
----------
Then Levi gave a great banquet for him in his house; and there was a
large crowd of tax-collectors and others sitting at the table with
them. The Pharisees and their scribes were complaining to his
disciples, saying, ‘Why do you eat and drink with tax-collectors and
sinners?’ Jesus answered, ‘Those who are well have no need of a
physician, but those who are sick; I have come to call not the
righteous but sinners to repentance.’
Devotional
----------
God offers grace to all. It is invitational in the person of Jesus.
Jesus' presence and acts of mercy are signs of God's loving nature
embracing a fallen world. God says come, no matter who you are. I
will forgive you, I will heal you. Receive my word of healing and
grace.
Prayer
------------
Holy Spirit, help me always see and hear God's invitation to receive
grace. Amen
