[:en]Scripture Reading: Matthew 9:9-13
Biblical Truth: The Jews despised tax collectors because they work for the Romans and many of them made a living by charging higher taxes than required and keeping the extra for themselves. So when Jesus called Matthew, a tax collector, they criticized him for associating with sinners. But Jesus said: “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners” (Mat. 9:12-13)
Personal Application. The unreached people need to be evangelized. Missions must focus on where the need is greatest. Bring the message of salvation to those who need it most.
Prayer: Dear Lord, please give me the courage and opportunity to share your Gospel with our own family and across the world.[:]
