David Jeremiah 23 April 2022 Daily Devotional MESSAGE
One of the silver linings of the 1960s counter-cultural decade in America was the rise of the so-called “Jesus Movement.” Many young people, part of the hippie movement, began finding their way to Bible studies, then churches, in Southern California. When they showed up in traditional churches, they caused quite a stir: long hair, sandals, beads, guitars, jeans, and an unfamiliar vocabulary. Some churches were not sure how to relate to them and discouraged their attendance. Thankfully, many other churches welcomed them with open arms, resulting in many new followers of Christ.
When Jesus embraced the marginalized members of first-century society—tax collectors, prostitutes, and other sinners—the religious establishment was critical. But Jesus’ explanation was clear: “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance” (Mark 2:17). Jesus is still welcoming sinners today whether mainstream or marginalized.
Jesus demonstrates the depths of His love by welcoming those who others reject. Whenever you feel left out, for whatever reason, Jesus welcomes you to His table.
Forbear to judge, for we are sinners all.
William Shakespeare

Salvation Prayer
Have you ever made Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life?
If not, pray this prayer and start a new life in Christ.
Dear God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I admit that I am not right with You, and I want to be right with You. I ask You to forgive me of all my sins. The Bible says if I confess with my mouth that “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead, I will be saved (Rom. 10:9). I believe with my heart and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is the Lord and Savior of my life. Thank You for saving me! In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.
