GOD'S ATTITUDE TOWARDS THOSE WHO STUCK IN SOME MESS:

John 3:17: "God didn't send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." FBV 

Mar 2:15-17: "That evening Jesus ate dinner at Levi's house. Many tax collectors and “sinners” joined Jesus and his disciples for the meal, for there were many of these people that followed Jesus. When the religious leaders of the Pharisees saw Jesus eating with such people, they asked Jesus' disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?” When Jesus heard this, he told them, “It's not healthy people who need a doctor, but those who are sick. I haven't come to invite those who live right, but those who don't— the sinners.”" FBV

This is how a Christian author envisioned Jesus;

"Jesus did not suppress one word of truth, but He uttered it always in love. He exercised the greatest tact and thoughtful, kind attention in His intercourse with the people. He was never rude, never needlessly spoke a severe word, never gave needless pain to a sensitive soul. He did not censure human weakness. He spoke the truth, but always in love. He denounced hypocrisy, unbelief, and iniquity; but tears were in His voice as He uttered His scathing rebukes. He wept over Jerusalem, the city He loved, which refused to receive Him, the way, the truth, and the life. They had rejected Him, the Saviour, but He regarded them with pitying tenderness. His life was one of self-denial and thoughtful care for others. Every soul was precious in His eyes. While He ever bore Himself with divine dignity, He bowed with the tenderest regard to every member of the family of God. In all men He saw fallen souls whom it was His mission to save." Steps to Christ page 12, Ellen G White

Have you ever wondered why "sinners" seemed to enjoy Jesus' presence? Do you think He made it His main focus to redicule and shame them for their struggle with sin? Do you think He went around "exposing" them? My take is this, they were won over to Him because of His love. They felt safe from their vices when they were in His presence. When they were with Him that was the only time they felt peace and freedom.
