jesus ate, (massive social faux pas), with the tax collectors and sinners at his mate levi's house.
this certainly got up the nose of the contemporary'defenders of the faith',the pharisees.
consider how they acted later on. this is the reason the message of love is so important. if i speak with the tongue of men or angels but have no love....? if the end result is not peace and grace, its all just so much wind.
jesus' response was ;the healthy do not require a doctor. i did not come to call the righteous.
he also told his disciples to take the message to the people but not to stuff it down their throats. he was clear about the ministry.
if someone closes the door...you leave...no judgement. it might just turn out another disciple has a better key. or its pearls before swine time...thats between them and their destiny.
cast out the plank in your own eye before removing the speck in your brothers....i try to remember that before each post.
peace be with you.
