Summary
Two groups of people had come to listen to Jesus: “tax collectors and sinners”. The “wild” & the “religious” group. These 2 groups had a radically different response to Jesus. One group wanted his grace but didn’t always want to change. The other wanted his grace but looked down on others who received it. They saw themselves as better. Jesus’s teaching consistently attracted the irreligious while offending the religious people of his day. The preaching/teaching in our church should probably have the same effect. We hold accountability to the “believer” and reveal grace that transforms to the “unbeliever”.
