Jesus hung out with sinners and never sinned. He took alot of heck from the leaders, officials, and generally 'good' and 'righteous' people in society for this. He met people at their own level, exposing their faults through truth and love, not through spiteful pride. He made them realize that they were living a life apart from God, against His way, a life for their own gratification. He exposed the sinners crutch, vice, and master. He offered them a way out of their enslavement and into a relationship that lasts. He pierced many a soul. Many had to humbly bow their heads and repent of their ways. For some, this was too hard; they would not give up their sin. For others, it was the best day of their lives and the start of a new one. Either way, Jesus never joined them in their sin: He joined them for diner. He never hungered for the prostitute: He hungered for their souls. He never basked in worldly wealth: He basked in God's glory.
I think this is pretty amazing.
I like. Last few lines especially.
