Beautiful Savior Sermons
Mercy for the Unworthy // Jesus Calls Sinners to Himself Matthew 9:9–13

Why would Jesus choose a tax collector to be one of His disciples?
In Matthew 9 : 9–13, Jesus calls Matthew away from his old life and into fellowship with Him not because Matthew was righteous, but because he was a sinner in need of mercy. The religious leaders could not understand why Jesus would eat with tax collectors and sinners, but Christ reveals the heart of God: "I desire mercy, and not sacrifice."
In this sermon for the Second Sunday after Pentecost, we explore how God's grace reaches those who know their need for forgiveness. The Gospel is not for the strong, the successful, or the self-sufficient. It is for sinners who need a Savior.
Through the promise fulfilled in Jesus Christ, we hear once again that God justifies the ungodly, welcomes the outcast, and restores the broken through His mercy.
