Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures.
John 10:9
Most of those who came from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun had not purified themselves. But King Hezekiah prayed for them, and they were allowed to eat the Passover meal anyway, even though this was contrary to the requirements of the Law. For Hezekiah said, “May the Lord, who is good, pardon those who decide to follow the Lord, the God of their ancestors, even though they are not properly cleansed for the ceremony.”
2 Chronicles 30:18-19
When Jesus heard this, he told them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”
Mark 2:17
Sometimes, Lord, we doubt that we can truly have healed hearts, restored relationships, and forgiven, fruitful lives. We seek your forgiveness and we offer forgiveness and love to others as you have offered to us, so that our hearts find a real home in you. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
