Mixing with Marginals

When the scribes of the Pharisee party saw Jesus eating with sinners and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, 'Why does he ear the tax collectors and sinners?' When Jesus heard this he said to them, 'It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick. I came to call not the upright, but sinners.' Mark 2:16-17
Why was Jesus dining with Marginals?
Who are the Marginals in my world?


Would you go over to the table in the photograph, pick up some food and go and mix with some of the marginal people? Or would you walk on by?
Mixing with these sorts of people gives us a feeling for Jesus's desire to save sinners. He was like a doctor wanting to attend the sick.
At the very least, our presence can be a sign that God cares.
