Why Jesus Hangs Out With Sinners

WHY JESUS HANGS OUT WITH SINNERS:

I. BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE ELSE TO HANG OUT WITH. Rom.3:23

II. TO INVITE US SINNERS INTO HIS
COMPANY, v.27 "Follow me."

III. BECAUSE WE NEED HIM. v.31 “It is not the healthy who need a doctor,
but the sick.

IV. TO SHOW HIS LOVE FOR THE UNLOVELY
v.30 "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners...."

V. TO CALL US SINNERS TO REPENTANCE,
v.32: Jesus: “I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

LESSON: Jesus hangs with sinners to give us grace to heal our sin sick souls.

Application: Each day seek his healing grace and ask him to cleanse your sin-sick soul.

Each new day wash in his refreshing grace and begin to live a new life.
