Calling All Sinners

Anyone who is forgiven by Jesus follows Jesus, and the one who does not follow Jesus has yet to see His forgiveness. (Titus 2:11-4) As we see Jesus call His disciples, it is noteworthy that the only requirement to follow Jesus is to be a sinner who acknowledges his/her sin.

Three Points

1. Jesus calls the greatest sinner. (Mark 2:13-14)
2. Jesus forgives the greatest sinners. (Mark 2:14)
3. Jesus associates with the greatest sinners. (Mark 2:15-17)
