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.
