Jesus: Friend of Sinners

If Jesus had a business card, it would read “Friend of Sinners.” Indeed, Jesus is a friend to sinners. He came to seek and to save the lost. This is good news! Unfortunately, not everyone was happy with Jesus’ ministry. His Google review would not have five stars. The Pharisees and scribes grumbled at his relationship with tax collectors and sinners. Jesus tells them three stories to help them see that God is finding the lost, making the dead alive, and that is a great cause of joy and celebration!
