A Letter From Pastor George
Greetings GRCC Family,
This week we will encounter the scandalous grace of our Lord Jesus in two scenes.
Scene 1, Jesus comes up to the tax booth of a despised man by the name of Levi. And He tells Levi to follow Him. And Levi drops everything, leaves everything behind and follows Jesus. This is the amazing grace of Jesus, because tax collectors were outcasts in that culture. But Jesus takes Levi in.
Scene 2, Levi holds a great feast for Jesus and all of his friends. The Pharisees are outraged that a rabbi like Jesus would have anything to do with Levi and his sinful brood of friends, much less recline at the table with them. But Jesus says to the Pharisees: Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
This is the grace Jesus. He takes us as He finds us, but doesn’t leave us as He finds us.
I’m so looking forward to worshiping with all of you this Sunday!
Prayer at 9:30 and then our worship service begins at 10 a.m.
Blessings and love to you all in the name of Jesus,
Pastor George
