Jesus Welcomes Sinners
"When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, 'If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is -- that she is a sinner.'" -- Luke 7:39
Thank you, Lord, that you are far more welcoming than many of the pious who inhabit the churches around us. Thank you that you are quick to recognize a repentant heart and extend a welcoming hand to your people. May your words convict those who judge others more harshly than themselves. And may we show your mercy and kindness to those who judge us unfairly.
