Mark 2:13-17

In this powerful message, we're reminded of a profound truth: we are seen, known, and loved by God. The story of Jesus calling Levi, a despised tax collector, teaches us that no one is beyond God's grace. Just as Jesus saw potential in Levi where others saw only a sinner, God sees the hidden potential in each of us. This narrative challenges us to look beyond labels and past mistakes, both in ourselves and others. It's a call to embrace God's transformative love and to extend that same grace to those around us. The message emphasizes that God specializes in using broken, messed-up people to bring about the miraculous. This truth invites us to step out in faith, knowing that our imperfections don't disqualify us from God's purpose. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to invite others to experience this same unconditional love and acceptance, creating a community where everyone has a place at the table.
