We are All Sinners

Mark 2:15-17
15 Now it happened, as He was dining in Levi's house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him. 16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, “How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?” 17 When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

Jesus calls us to meet sinners where they are, because we are sinners ourselves apart from God's mercy shown to us. Mao we must follow this example to reach the world where it sits, not trying to first lure them into the church - which is to be those who are His already.  We need not to judge those outside, but inside, as we offer the good news of repentance to faith.
