Third Sunday after Trinity
28 June 2020
Jesus Receives SinnersÂ
âThis man receives sinners and eats with themâ (St. Luke 15.2). The Phariseesâ statement of judgment against Jesus is in fact a proclamation of Gospel truth. For our God is one who delights in mercy, who casts all our sins into the depths of the sea through the cross (Micah 7.18â20). âChrist Jesus came into the world to save sinnersâ (1 Timothy 1.15). Those who refuse to be counted as sinners also refuse Jesus who came only for sinners. Let us therefore be on guard against selfârighteously trusting in our own merits. âHumble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt youâ (1 Peter 5.6). Rejoice that Jesus receives sinners like us and that He still sits at table with us in the Holy Supper, bestowing His forgiveness and life.
