Matthew 9:11-13: Jesus eats with tax collectors and sinners — his heart is toward sinners
Jesus's posture of reaching toward sinners rather than destroying them
The Pharisees questioned why Jesus ate with tax collectors and sinners. Jesus responded: "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician but those who are sick" and quoted Hosea: "I desire compassion and not sacrifice, for I did not come to call the righteous but sinners." Mike argues this shows Christ's heart is to call sinners, not kill them.
