While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Background Notes
Recently, I discovered the sermons of my college pastor online. While at Georgetown University (1991-95), I, along with 10-20 other Georgetown friends, attended Fourth Presbyterian Church, a 10-15 minute drive from campus through the manicured estates of Northwest Washington, DC to the leafy suburban neighborhood of Bethesda in Maryland.
We drank in the deep wisdom of our college director, Chuck Jacob (now a senior pastor at Knox Presbyterian in Ann Arbor, MI) and of Dr. Rob Norris on Sunday mornings (and at times, classes he taught during the week days).
When I attended, the US Vice-President Dan Quayle and his family (and security detail), my Georgetown professor former UN Ambassador Jeanne Kirkpatrick, and many other well-known names from politics, academia and media, also attended. Dr. Norris' predecessor was then-chaplain of the US Senate, Dr. Richard Halverson.
All to say, if all of these accomplished people came Sunday after Sunday and benefited from Dr. Norris' sermons, maybe we too can find intellectual as well as spiritual nourishment from these talks?
It does not take long before one is taken in by the profundity and the humor -- not to mention, the accent! -- of Dr. Norris's exposition.

(Complete Gospel of Mark)
Jesus sitting with Matthew and other tax collectors, branded as enemy of polite society, shocked the Pharisees; they’re angered… The sight of Jesus eating with sinners was offensive because it’s as if Jesus is allying Himself with those disrespectful to the law, indifferent to the rituals of Israel, and who denied any distinction between the righteous and sinners. Jesus, by reclining and eating with them, was identify himself with those who are not only at the bottom rung of society, but probably have been disowned by their family, ex-communicated from the synagogues, who were certainly ceremonially unclean, and were indifferent to the law of Moses that were the stable of society, and the only hope for anyone. The Kingdom of God is for sinners; it was Jesus’ mission to eat with tax collectors and sinners; a sign that the Messiah had come to his own people, to create a new Israel, to be populated with sinners only – REDEEMED sinners. And what is their privilege? What is OUR privilege? It is to share the most intimate relationship with the Christ of God. One sign of the Kingdom is that sinners come to believe in Jesus, by faith, by renouncing former life and repenting of sin. And now, the sinners are sitting at the table, enjoying fellowship with the Messiah.

ប្រោសមនុស្ស ខ្វិនម្នាក់ ឲ្យជា
ប៉ុន្មានថ្ងៃ ក្រោយមក
ព្រះយេស៊ូ យាងត្រឡប់ មកក្រុង កាពើណិមវិញ, ហើយ អ្នកស្រុក ឮដំណឹង ថា, ព្រះអង្គ គង់នៅ ក្នុងផ្ទះ។
មានមនុស្ស យ៉ាងច្រើន មកមូល ផ្ដុំគ្នា កកកុញ, គ្មានសល់ កន្លែងណា សោះឡើយ, សូម្បីតែ នៅមាត់ទ្វារផ្ទះ
ក៏គ្មានសល់ដែរ។ ព្រះយេស៊ូ ថ្លែងព្រះបន្ទូល

គេ ពុំអាចនាំ មនុស្ស ខ្វិននោះ ទៅជិត ព្រះយេស៊ូ បានឡើយ។ ដូច្នេះ គេ ក៏ចោះ ដំបូលផ្ទះ ចំពីលើ កន្លែង
ដែលព្រះអង្គគង់, ហើយ សំរូតមនុស្សខ្វិន នៅលើគ្រែស្នែង
ចុះតាម ប្រឡោះមក។ កាលព្រះយេស៊ូ ឈ្វេងយល់ ជំនឿ របស់ អ្នកទាំងនោះ, ព្រះអង្គ មានព្រះបន្ទូល ទៅកាន់ អ្នកពិការ ថា៖ «កូនអើយ, ខ្ញុំ អត់ទោស ឲ្យអ្នកបានរួច

ពួកអាចារ្យខ្លះ ដែលអង្គុយ នៅទីនោះ រិះគិត ក្នុងចិត្ត ថា៖ «ហេតុដូចម្ដេច បានជា អ្នកនេះ ហ៊ានប្រមាថ ព្រះជាម្ចាស់ ដោយពោលពាក្យ ស្មើនឹងព្រះអង្គ បែបនេះ? ក្រៅពី ព្រះជាម្ចាស់ មួយព្រះអង្គ, តើ នរណា អាចអត់ទោស មនុស្ស ឲ្យរួច ពីបាបបាន?»
ព្រះយេស៊ូ ឈ្វេងយល់
ចិត្តគំនិត របស់គេភ្លាម, ទ្រង់ មានព្រះបន្ទូល ទៅគេ ថា៖ «ហេតុអ្វី បានជា អ្នករាល់គ្នា រិះគិត ដូច្នេះ? បើ ខ្ញុំ ប្រាប់អ្នក ពិការនេះ
ថា, “ខ្ញុំ អត់ទោស ឲ្យអ្នក បានរួច
ពីបាបហើយ” ឬថា, “ចូរ ក្រោកឡើង យកគ្រែស្នែង
របស់អ្នក ដើរទៅចុះ,” តើ ឃ្លាមួយណា ស្រួលនិយាយ ជាង? ប៉ុន្តែ ខ្ញុំ ចង់ឲ្យ អ្នករាល់គ្នា
ដឹងថា, បុត្រមនុស្ស មានអំណាច នឹងអត់ទោស ឲ្យមនុស្ស នៅលើផែនដីនេះ
រួចពីបាបបាន។» ព្រះអង្គ ងាកទៅរក អ្នកខ្វិន, ហើយ មានព្រះបន្ទូល ថា៖ «ចូរ ក្រោកឡើង, យកគ្រែស្នែង របស់អ្នក ដើរទៅផ្ទះ
វិញទៅ។» មនុស្សខ្វិន
ក៏ក្រោកឈរ ឡើងភ្លាម, យកគ្រែស្នែង របស់ខ្លួន,
ដើរកាត់មុខ មនុស្ស ទាំងអស់ ចេញទៅ, ធ្វើឲ្យគេ
គ្រប់គ្នា ស្ញប់ស្ញែង យ៉ាងខ្លាំង, ហើយ លើកតម្កើង សិរីរុងរឿង
របស់ ព្រះជាម្ចាស់, ទាំងពោល ថា៖ «យើង មិនដែល បានឃើញ ការអស្ចារ្យ ណាមួយ ដូចពេលនេះ ឡើយ!»

Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man
2 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 Since
they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an
opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered
the mat the man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7 “Why does this fellow talk like that? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things? 9 Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk’? 10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, 11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”
Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners
13 Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them. 14 As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him.
15 While
Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and
sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who
followed him. 16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees
saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his
disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Jesus Questioned About Fasting
18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting.
Some people came and asked Jesus, “How is it that John’s disciples and
the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?”
19 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them. 20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and on that day they will fast.
21 “No
one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the
new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. 22 And
no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will
burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No,
they pour new wine into new wineskins.”
Jesus Is Lord of the Sabbath
23 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. 24 The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?”
25 He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? 26 In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.”
27 Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

Dear KI media. Why do you mix religion and politics? By doing so you loose credibility and support for the opposition. Is it all from Theary Seng? Let her use her own blog for that if she wants to advocate for christianity...
1:24 PM. I agree with you. Ki Media should be a professional news outlet, but a self promoting religioin blogs. If Theary Seng wants to promote her Christian belief, its not hard to do so.
Why does she make me read this crap? Jesus Christ didnt go to heaven nor did his followers. They were all crusified and hung on trees and crosses.
Stop killing Buddhism and other relgions.
First I agreed with you that Theary Seng should not preach Christinity in her own. Blog, but until youdared bashing Preah Jesus CHRIST whom million Buddhists believed He is Preah Se-Ar Metrey, I truly believe that you are EVIL. You are not Buhhist but a FAKE Buddhist, a truly EVIL
You live borrowing time like the rest creatures, for 800 years you evil Buddhists destroyed my great ountry (Khmer Empire), and you still stand cursing GOD?
Million Khmers knew True GOD, and .nothing your Evils can stop us.
What kind of Buddhist are you, when you never read .nor understand what is Buddhism or what Buddha teaches people, and dont know what nationality was Buddha or how many Indians or Tibetans became Buddhas, etc
GOD.Bless Theary Sen.
I meant Theary Seng should preach in her own Blog.
Theary Seng!
More Khmer Christians rise, please post every where on the internet the Gospel of Preah Jesus Christ.
The Khmer Buddhists took Our Empire and for 800 years they destroyed everything we had. They are being CURSED because their evil deeds.
Khmer Buddhists despised GOD. They destroyed and killed Khmer empire FIRST religion "Hinduism", now they face GOD. They took the Empire for 800 years now still wonder to destroy more.
Khmer Buddhists are Yuon's sleeping Army.

Another non-sense from Theary Banana Seng who's so ashamed of her own origin and pretend that anything western is vastly superior to whatever Cambodia has to offer.
Her brown-nosing up white asses has led her to live a life of denial using the Khmer rouge tragedy to advance her own self-serving agenda!
You should go back to your best country on earth and let Cambodians decide for themselves rather than contributing to the destruction of the already fragile social fabric of my country!
Good riddance!
