Jesus and the Sinners
In chapter 5, there are several stories about Jesus coming in contact with people who were sinners. Jesus shows us in each encounter that He came for the sick (physically but especially spiritually). Jesus loves sinners. He came to forgive them and make them whole again. In each of the stories, those who believed Him saw their neediness and sins; they were cleansed and forgiven. Jesus has the authority to forgive sins. We can (and need to) wholly trust Him and be forgiven.

The Church in Ephesus: Revelation 2:1-7
The letter to the Ephesians in Revelation begins with a commendation. Jesus commends the Ephesians for their doctrinal purity. They have fought false teachings and have remained faithful to the truth without growing weary and giving up. Yet, though they have remained doctrinally pure, they have ceased to be faithful witnesses for Jesus because they lost her first love for Jesus. Jesus calls them to remember the depths of their sin and how much they have been forgiven. Some of us are like the prodigal son or the sinful woman in Luke 7, and we know we have been saved from a life of sin. We have been overwhelmed by his grace, but over time, the memory fades and we grow prideful and self-reliant. For others of us, the danger is that we have never had a sinful woman experience. We may not have ever felt desperate, out of control, absolutely empty, and needy. Our savior walks among his people and he sees them all. He will forgive us if we will stop trying to be perfect and simply fall at his feet and beg him for mercy. Run to the one who, though his face shown like the sun, willingly took on flesh to die on the cross in our place.

Value Sizing Your Life
The choice to follow Jesus is similar to "value sizing" a meal at a fast food restaurant. You'll get more out of life, but it's going to cost you something.

Simon's Son, Judas, Betrayed Christ!
Simon’s Son, Judas, Betrayed Christ! We may feel betrayed at times, but always remember, “God is in charge!†1: Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. 2: And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; 26: Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
