And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. Luke 15:2
A little girl stepped shivering into the shelter of a London, England church. After the meeting, she approached the preacher, “Sir, I never knew my name was in the Bible!” He smiled, “Well, little girl what is your name?“. “My name is Edith.” “Oh, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but Edith does not appear in the Bible.” She insisted, “Yes, it does. I heard you read it tonight. It said, ?Jesus receiveth sinners, and Edith with them!’”. Dear reader, have you identified
yourself as a sinner and trusted Christ? —George Ferrier
Come, and He will give you rest;
Trust Him, for His Word is plain;
He will take the sinfulest;
Christ receiveth sinful men. —Frances Bevan
