The Building Up of Waste Places - Paul M. Williams

Isaiah 61:1 In the days of Jesus' earthly ministry, not everyone welcomed Him.  The religious leaders despised Him and could not understand why He would eat with sinners and dine with the publicans.  They were of far greater purity to condescend to men of such disrepute.  But you see, it was these for whom Christ came.  Not for the righteous (those who are well) — they have no need of a doctor and hence do not seek for one.  But He came for sinners that they might be made whole!!
