| When the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto His disciples, How is it that He eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? When Jesus heard it, He saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Mark 2:16‑17) |
| Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. (Prov. 8:33) |
There is a love that longs with deep affection
To gather all the sin-sick sons of men
Beneath its wings of shelter and protection,
And cleanse them from their sin. |
It is the love of Jesus, sweet with longing
His full salvation to the world to give,
Crying to all the dead, earth’s highways
thronging,
“Come unto Me, come unto Me, and live.” |
