Message: The Gospel According to Matthew
Text: Matthew 9:9-13
Why Them?
The self-righteous, “Why are you eating with sinners?”
Self-righteous people don’t eat with sinners, we’re too good for them.
The sinners may rub off on you.
We’re uncomfortable with those who aren’t our kind.
Jesus, “Why aren’t you eating with sinners?”
I left the glory of heaven to ransom all people, not some people.
You may rub off on the sinners.
The cross was a very uncomfortable place.
So, why aren’t you eating with sinners?
