Mark 2:13–17 & Romans 3:10

In today’s episode, we continue our journey through the Gospel of Mark and meet a man named Levi, a tax collector whose life changed the moment Jesus said two simple words:

“Follow me.”

But what happened next surprised the Pharisees. Instead of avoiding sinners, Jesus sat down and shared a meal with them.

When the Pharisees saw this, they asked a question that still matters today:

Why would a holy teacher eat with sinners?

We unpack what Jesus means when he said “ “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
