Unlikely Outreach: Mark 2:13-17. 1. Jesus' outreach connects with unlikely people. Levi is a social outcast, notorious, sinner, banned from the synagogue, and not well-liked. Levi responds to Jesus' call. The Pharisees, who are the leaders, experts on religion, the highly educated, and most respected, reject Jesus. 2. What did Jesus offer? Jesus prepared the way for Levi. - New Kingdom. - New Direction. - New Start. How did Levi respond to Jesus? 1. Levi recognized he was a sinner and not spiritually healthy. Mark 2:17 says, "...Healthy people don't need a doctor- sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners." 2. "Later, Levi invited Jesus and His disciples to his home as dinner guests, along with many tax collectors and other disreputable sinners. (There were many people of this kind among Jesus' followers.)" Mark 2:15.
