Message: The Scandal of Grace

    Mark 2:13-17

    Jesus, Friend of Sinners

    Throughout Scripture, Jesus’ identity as a friend of sinners stands central to His redemptive mission. Martin Luther illuminated this truth through the “happy exchange” (2 Corinthians 5:21), where Christ, though sinless, bore our guilt to clothe us in His righteousness. Christ’s friendship flows from His deliberate, effectual union with believers, securing not only forgiveness but transformative holiness. Christ’s friendship confronts sin without compromise, yet offers boundless mercy to those who trust Him. Jesus’s grace magnifies God’s glory, as Jesus joyfully rescues the lost. Our Savior draws near to the broken, not to condone sin but to conquer it — calling His church to extend His compassion to

    a weary world.
