Application: All people have this terrible habit: we tend to maximize other's sins, and minimize our own. To gladly hand down harsh sentences to others for their misdeeds, but have a long list of extenuating circumstances when we're the ones on trial. The fact is, none of us is more qualified to follow Jesus than Levi is. He's a sinner. We're sinners. It's the pool of volunteers Jesus has to work with...Which is good, because sinners are the exact people Jesus wants to hang out with. It's not about having a good resume, or even a short rap sheet. It's about knowing we're sick, and drawing close to the doctor.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, we are sick. Heal us. We are in need help us. Amen.
