Levi gave a large dinner at his home for Jesus. Everybody was there, tax men and other disreputable characters as guests at the dinner. The Pharisees and their religion scholars came to his disciples greatly offended. "What is he doing eating and drinking with crooks and 'sinners'?"
Jesus heard about it and spoke up, "Who needs a doctor: the healthy or the sick? I'm here inviting outsiders, not insiders—an invitation to a changed life, changed inside and out."
This really jumped out at me and I’m not sure why, I am sure it has something to do with the fact that I am not supposed to be sitting around waiting for people to witness to. Does anyone else feel called to go to the streets and witness?
Father I want to serve you in our community, I pray for the courage to speak up, and never back down. I pray my legacy will be bigger than I can even imagine. In Jesus name I pray I will make a difference.
