Jesus>Religion

Matthew 9

12 When Jesus heard this, he said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do.” 13 Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.”


Many people confuse religion with a relationship with Jesus. A YouTube video making the rounds these days talks about that in a way that speaks well to the younger generation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IAhDGYlpqY

We would all do well to remember that Jesus came for the spiritually sick, not for the self-righteous.
