Aim: To appreciate the intimate relationship Christ has with us, His sinful children.
Exegesis: Jesus calls us sinners through His preached (v. 13) and compelling (v. 14) word. Jesus loves us sinners enough to relate to us (v. 15) and identify with us (v. 16). Jesus saves us sinners, not because we deserve it (v. 17a), but because it pleases Him (v. 17b).
Key verse: v. 15 ''Now it happened, as He was dining in Levi's house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him.''
