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 out castes – 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.
