This man offered one sacrifice for sins for all time.—Heb. 10:12.

 

Jesus focused special attention on people who felt weighed down by sin and invited them to become his followers. He knew that sin was the root cause of mankind’s ills. So he reached out to men and women who were known to be sinners. Using an illustration, he explained: “Healthy people do not need a physician, but those who are ill do.” He added: “I came to call, not righteous people, but sinners.” (Matt. 9:12, 13) Jesus lived up to those words. He gently forgave the sins of the woman who washed his feet with her tears. (Luke 7:37-50) He taught vital truths to the Samaritan woman at the well, though he knew of her immoral lifestyle. (John 4:7, 17-19,25, 26) God even empowered Jesus to undo the end result of all sin—death. How? Jesus resurrected people—male and female, children and adults.—Matt. 11:5. w24.08 4 ¶9-10
