Episode Details

We cannot get it better than how Jesus looks for us, sinners. That is what we are, children of God but sinners. He came to this world to look for each of us to cure and save us, to forgive our sins. He does not behave like Steven Spielberg who is looking for the appropriate and adequate actor or actress for his movie. He is looking for those who see themselves as sinners, faulty, weak, struggling real human beings and descendants of Adam and Eve with all our evil inclinations and tendencies. The Pharisees and scribes in the gospel looked down on those people. They think themselves to be superior to sinners. Hence, they were scandalized by Jesus eating with prostitutes and tax collectors. He did not shun sinners. He explained that it was the ill who needed the doctor.
