Passage: Luke
15:1-2*
1. Now the tax collectors and "sinners" were all gathering
around to hear him.
2. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered,
"This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."
Questions
1. How did Jesus relate to the tax collectors and sinners?
2. What was their attitude toward him?
Practical help
Jesus made it easy for sinners to hang out with him. He showed up at
their parties and made them feel comfortable around him. No wonder they listened when he
spoke.
