Luke 5:27-32
After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,” Jesus said to him, and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.
Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
Reflection
Jesus often took the time to eat and drink with people. As we live our daily lives, there are times when we can naturally pause and get to know others. These relationships grow as we share stories–our story and God’s story.
Where have you recently seen God at work in your life and in the lives of others?
Who can you share your story with this week?
