No one is too bad to be saved or beyond the power of Christ's grace. We are told of a wealthy tax collector becoming a disciple of Christ, a more unlikely event we cannot well imagine. We see the camel passing through the eye of the needle and the rich man entering the kingdom of God. We see a plain proof that all things are possible with God. We see a covetous tax collector transformed into a generous Christian. The door of hope that the gospel reveals to sinners is very wide open. Let us leave it as open as we find it. We should never be afraid to maintain that Christ is able to save to the uttermost and that the vilest of sinners may be forgiven freely if they will only come to him. We should offer the gospel boldly to the worst and the wickedest. Such doctrine may seem to the worldly as foolish and a license for evil, but such doctrine is the gospel of him who saved Zacchaeus at Jericho. There are no incurables under the gospel. Any sinner may be healed if he will only come to Christ. JC Ryle.

Praise the Lord. I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart. In the company of the upright in the congregation, great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them. Psalm 111:1-2.
