"A House Call from the Great Physician" (Matt 9:9-13)

About this episode

The episode discusses Matthew's conversion and the significance of Christ's call to sinners.

Matthew records his conversion in his Gospel. A despised tax collector is the object of Christ's affection. Matthew responds immediately to His invitation. He then hosts a feast for Jesus Christ and his fellow tax collectors. The Pharisees were outraged that the Master would eat with such outcasts. Christ reminded them that the spiritually sick are the ones who need the Great Physician. Our Lord did not come to call the righteous (there truly aren't any) but sinners to repentance.
