Jesus’arms of welcome are always open.

耶稣永远欢迎我们来到祂跟前。  

It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.   ---Mark 2:17

健康的人用不着医生，有病的人才用得着。-马可福音2章17节

Health clubs offer many different programs for those who want to lose weight and stay healthy. One fitness center caters only to those who want to lose at least 50 pounds and develop a healthy life style. One member says that she quit her previous fitness club because she felt the slim and fit people were staring ather and judging her out-of-shape body. She now works out 5 days a week and is achieving healthy weight loss in a positive and welcoming environment.

健身俱乐部会提供许多不同的健身计划，以满足人们想要瘦身和保持身体健康的需求。有一间健身中心，他们的会员都必须是想要减重至少二十公斤，追求健康生活的人。该中心一位会员表示，她不再参加先前的俱乐部因为她觉得被排斥，那些苗条健康的人喜欢盯着她看，而且对她走样的身材指指点点。她现在每周来健身中心五次，在这个态度积极又亲切的环境中，努力追求健康减重的目标。

Two thousand years ago, Jesus came to call the spiritually unfit to follow Him.Levi was one such person. Jesus saw him sitting in his tax collector’s booth and said, “Follow me” (Mark 2:14). His words captured Levi’s heart, and he followed Jesus. Tax collectors were often greedy and dishonest in their dealings and were considered religiously unclean. When the religious leaders saw Jesus having dinner at Levi’s house with other tax collectors, they asked,“Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” (2:16). Jesus replied, “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners” (2:17).

两千多年前，耶稣呼召那些被排斥的人来跟从祂，利未就是其中之一。耶稣看见他坐在税关那里，就对他说：「你跟从我来！」（马可福音2章14节）利未被耶稣的话打动，于是他跟随了耶稣。税吏在收税时通常都是贪婪和狡诈的，当时犹太人的律法也将他们列为不洁净的人。因此一些宗教领袖看见耶稣在利未家中和其他税吏共进晚餐时，便问说：「祂和税吏并罪人一同吃喝吗？」（16节）耶稣听见就回答说：「我来本不是召义人，乃是召罪人。」（17节）

Jesus came to save sinners, which includes all of us. He loves us, welcomes us into His presence, and calls us to follow Him. As we walk with Him, we grow more and more spiritually fit.

耶稣来是为了拯救罪人，拯救我们每一个人。祂爱我们，欢迎我们来到祂面前，并呼召我们跟从祂。我们与祂同行，灵命就会愈来愈健康。

Prayer 祷告：

Read Acts 9:10-19 and see how one man obeyed God and welcomed someone who was considered spiritually unfit. What were the results? How can you reach out to those who need the Savior? How can you help your church become a more welcoming place for the spiritually unfit? 

阅读使徒行传9章10-19节，看看一位信徒如何顺服上帝，去服事那不受欢迎的人。你要如何帮助需要救主的人？如何让你的教会成为欢迎罪人，来认识耶稣的地方呢？
