Mt. 9: 9-13: From Abraham to Pharisees we find
the Jews making themselves righteous on their terms to approach God. Jesus in
the New Testament corrects them by going directly to outcastes – tax collectors
and prostitutes. Jesus is the new Israel who now reaches out all people to join
them into a family linked not by genes but by faith in God. Thus they approach
God to become righteous. So Jesus wants us to call God our Father so that we
live a life in His terms.
