Kal's Korner

Waetzig, Rev. Kalvin

Kal's Korner!
Week of Jan. 29-Feb. 4, 2012
Greetings in the Name of Jesus, Messiah and Lord
 
The Word:  Mark 2 (Assigned reading for Monday, Jan. 30, 2012)
Check out the Gospel promise of Mark 2:17, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
 
Self-righteous is just that...right with God based on self. It is at such times when we consider ourselves right(eous) before God on our own terms, that we should be most frightened. For at such times we do not recognize our great need for salvation on God's terms. God shows up in Jesus and meets those who are sick, those who recognize that their condition of sin is great indeed before a Holy God. And Jesus forgives and calls them as His.  
 
Those right on their own terms question God's way of working. They question, "Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?"(vs. 16).  The Pharisees considered themselves righteous and as such had no need for a Savior, especially one who shows up for sinners. 
 
Jesus invitation to us in our sinful condition is simply two words, "Follow me." (vs. 14).


We follow a God who has come for sinners, for us. Wow! Amen!
 
From one forgiven sinner to another.
For whom Jesus has come,
Pastor Kal
