Good Morning!! In the Bible, we learn that Jesus often associated with members of society who were often regarded as the lowest of the low... prostitutes, tax collectors, thieves, etc. Through the Word of His Father, Jesus offered these highly imperfect individuals a better way. It was a path which led directly to His Father,...God. The same is true today. Through the Word of God (the Bible), we're offered a way which leads directly to the Father,...and the name of this Way is Jesus Christ.
Some Pharisees asked Jesus' disciples, " Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and other sinners? ' Jesus heard them and answered, " Healthy people don't need a doctor, but sick people do.'...—Mathew 9:11,12 (AAJE )
As we attempt to follow His straight path of righteousness, we're often diverted by temptation or some other stumbling block. Unfortunately, such weaknesses are part of our human and fleshly makeup. Through Christ, we have the strength and ability to not only recognize such evil diversions, but actually overcome evil with the goodness of His word.

Being a Christian is less about being perfect,...and more about accepting the grace given us through our Lord,
...Jesus Christ.
...Jesus Christ.
Sweet Spirit of God, don't let us use our humanity as an excuse to keep doing as we have. Remind us that; our righteousness is given,...not earned. And that we have only to accept it,...and walk in the steps, that Jesus walked before us. Amen.
"Letting go of earthly possessions, enables us to take hold of heavenly treasures."
