Scripture: Matthew 9:10-12
And as he sat at dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were sitting with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” But when he heard this, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.”
Thought for the Day: I recently heard a sports commentator suggest that he was witnessing “the resurrection of Tiger Woods.” The language of resurrection struck me, and part of me cringed at the use of that word. Did I think Tiger was less deserving than others? Did I view his poor choices as something that put him beyond the power of God to redeem? I’ll need to prayerfully struggle with why I was initially bothered by that language, for in these dark and holy days, shouldn’t we all celebrate even a glimpse of new life. And it is important to remember that Jesus came, not to heal those who are already healthy, but those who are sick…and I should include myself among that latter group.
Prayer: Prepare me, Lord, to experience the resurrection I need to experience, while also celebrating the resurrection moments in the lives of others. Amen.
