Many people will never set foot in a church because deep down they feel they are simply not good enough to fit in with all the good people. Others won’t come because they are appalled by the hypocrisy of those who profess the faith but do not practice it. The reality is that we are all sinners who stand in need of grace. The reality is that God loves us just as we are. If that seems too good to be true, remember Jesus’ interaction with the wicked little tax collector, Zacchaeus. A tax collector in that day was a traitor to his nation and to his faith. He was the chief tax collector, too. He made a lot of money but paid a very high cost for it – he was absolutely hated by his own people. Yet, Jesus showed up, called his name and brought salvation into his life.
