- Did Jesus hang out with sinners? Well he hung around 12 disciples for three years, right?
- 00:08
- One of them betrayed him and Jesus knew he would. Another one denied him three times and the rest of them deserted him.
- 00:15
- Which Jesus prophesied would happen. He ate at the house of Zacchaeus, a dishonest tax collector.
- 00:20
- He talked with an immoral woman at a well, baffling his disciples. He ate with Pharisees who said of Jesus, this man receives sinners and eats with them.
- 00:28
- Which is kind of funny because Jesus ate with them. So yes, Jesus hung out with sinners.
- 00:34
- But that does not mean he was okay with sin. He rebuked Nicodemus for not understanding the word of God.
- 00:40
- He astonished the Samaritan woman by telling her all about her sin. He told a man he had just healed, sin no more that nothing worse may happen to you.
- 00:48
- He said to a woman caught in adultery, go and sin no more. Jesus, friend of sinners, loved sinners to tell sinners they are sinners.
- 00:58
- Jesus spoke not only about sin, but the judgment of God against those who sin. Through the
- 01:03
- Bible, he exposes our sin and the consequences of our sin that we would know there is forgiveness for sin for those who trust in him.
- 01:11
- Jesus said, repent and believe the gospel. He said, those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
- 01:18
- I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. Only those who know they are sinners in need of a savior will turn from sin to Jesus Christ and be saved.
