We are the sick

"On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."" (Matthew 9)

Sometimes we assume that the one beside us is the sick and they need to repent. We compare ourself with people that is worse than us, or weird than us, and then we feel good that we are the healthy and they are the sick. But in fact, by comparing with Jesus, the son of God, we are all the sick who need Jesus to transform our life, so that we slowly become more Christ like.

Transformation has to be done through Christ, not through good work, or a powerful Sunday sermon. I should realize our own situation, that we are sinner and the sick, so that we will desire mercy from God. When we still desire the sacrifice from God, we still don't get that we in the first place don't deserve mercy from God.
