[:en]Scripture Reading: Matthew 9:14-17
Biblical Truth: The old rigid legalistic system of religion focuses on self-denial and fasting as what the Pharisees were doing. But Jesus came with a new message that He came to earth to offer forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God.
Personal Application: The gospel message is to repent and follow Jesus in order to live a new life.
Prayer: Lord, change our old patterns of thoughts and belief about salvation. We know that when we repent, our sins will be forgiven and we can become your children.
