I am in need of a Savior.

I am in need of a Savior.  Thank God for His Son Jesus.  Jesus saves us.
         "Later  Matthew invited Jesus and His disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners.  But when the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with such scum?"
         When Jesus heard this, He said, "Healthy people don't need a doctor-sick people do."  Then He added, "  Now go and learn the meaning of this scipture: 'I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.'  For I have come to call not htjose who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners."
Matthew 9:10-13
I realized today that I may think that I am better, or more righteous because I don't listen to bad music, or because I get good grades, or maybe because I try to be more modest.  I am not better, or more righteous, God doesn't love me more because I don't listen to modern music.  I know that I like the music I listen to, and I am comfortable in my clothes, I also know that I like getting good grades.  That doesn't make me better though, it makes me unique.
Matthew 5:7
"Blessed are those who are merciful,
for they will be shown mercy."
