Mark 2:17

Christianity is not about rules and doctrines it is about love….

God wants a relationship with you! 

How can it possibly be true that the Creator of the world wants to be your Father, your friend, your cohort in this amazing thing that we call life…..abundant life…..the God kind….but He does!

He wants to be beside you guiding you in all things spiritual, physical and emotional….He will teach you and be your helper in life! Give Him your work….your play…. your total love and devotion.

He is the only One who deserves it :) 
 there was no man righteous no. not. one.
so God sent His only begotten Son!

Mark’s Gospel is unique. It is not a biography of Jesus, like Matthew or Luke, for it does not dwell on Jesus’ family history or career. Instead, this Gospel is a record of Jesus’ actions and achievements. 

It presents Jesus as a Savior-King, 
who conquers demons, disease, and death.


None are righteous, though some, such as the Pharisees, fancied themselves as such. Instead, Christ came to call sinners to repentance. Jesus did not condone the activities of sinners, but required repentance—a change of mind that recognizes the need of a Savior and recognizes Jesus Christ as the only Savior.

Mark 2:17
17 When Jesus heard it, He said to them,  “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

13 But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” 
Matthew 9:13

11 For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. 
Matthew 18:11

10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” 

Luke 19:10
