"Today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart" (Psalm 95:7,8). And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto His disciples, How is it that He eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? When Jesus heard it, He saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Mark 2:16,17).
Jesus saw His crucial mission:
To heal the sin-sick soul.
Thus He came as our Physician
To save and make us whole.
Jesus carried out His mission
By dying in our place
And calling for a clear decision
To turn from sin to grace.
Jesus yet pursues His mission
Now through His Spirit sent,
Reproving sinners who will listen,
And earnestly repent.
Jesus calls us to His mission,
That we might fully yield,
By salvation and submission,
To labor in His field.
Jesus will complete His mission;
His purpose shall not fail.
The Gospel of His great commission
Shall by His Church prevail.
