I just wanna celebrate!

I Just Wanna Celebrate!

"Your sister has done so well, let's celebrate!"  "Why are you making such a big deal over her?  She does one thing right and you rejoice.  I have always been good and you've had no celebrations for me."

Jesus reaches out to sinners not the virtuous.  Which are you?  One who needs His mercy or the one who will celebrate over another's success?

Be happy and satisfied knowing that you have done well and help those in need of Jesus' mercy.  Encourage others to join you in celebration when another has changed, tranformed or converted.


“I just wanna celebrate!” You need to know that I celebrate with you in your accomplishments today. Whether big or small, significant or not, my heart leaps with joy because you recognized a change for the better!

Inspired by Matthew 9:9-13

As Jesus was walking along he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him, "follow me."  and he got up and followed him.  As as he sat at dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were sitting with him and his disciples.  When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"  But when he heard this,  he said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.  Go and learn what this means, "I desire mercy, not sacrifice."  For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners."
