Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love by Micheal D Smith in the Upper Room


Jesus said I have not come to call the righteous, but the sinners

Luke 5:32


At times we all need a friend, someone who cares about us and our struggles. In fact we do have someone to talk with  who will not judge us but will unconditionally accept and love us. Scripture says that Jesus sat down with tax gatherers and sinners who came to him. They felt comfortable coming and listening to him, perhaps because they knew he offered compassion and healing. As Jesus was both cleaning and making people whole, the Pharisees and scribes began to grumble. They complained that Jesus was receiving sinners and eating with them.


This is amazing! The pure, holy, spotless lamb of God not only listened to impure, unrighteous sinners like but touched them and ate with them.


We do not have to discouraged by those around us today who are quick to judge and keep a record of our faults. Instead we con encourage ourselves and others with the truth that Christ is always ready with open arms to receive us and make us whole!


-Thought- Jesus came for sinners like you and me!
