"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."
Just being in the presence of these "sinners" immediately raised the ire of the religious leaders. Critical hearts and condemning spirits were quick to discount the good work of the Lord to these social outcasts. As we go about our business today, we must view those around us with the Lord's eyes of compassion and mercy, knowing that He loves just as we are, sinners needing the saving grace of Jesus.
