Bible Note: Dear Brad, May I throw a bit of my thought here. There were 2 groups of sinners (allow me to put it this way) I see in Jesus' time: One group contained those who were despised, rejected or even cursed by those religious leaders and the other people. I believe those sinners knew of their inferior situation by the condemnation of the Pharisees' for what they had done. "...for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin."(Rom 3:20) Then they were in need of the Gospel (Jesus). Thus we did not see Jesus rebuking them but exercising His love and compassion onto them. The other group was the Pharisees or likewise who did not regard themselves as sinners but righteous. They were blind, stonehearted. Thus Jesus rebuked them for their great sin. Yet, Jesus still died for them. Therefore, I still can see how it works with the Law and Gospel. Just my 2 cents :-) Shalom Azure |
