Jesus says that the love of God is deep, it is endless and many of us thought that it was unconditional.  Some complain, however, if unconditional, why then  do we have to obey all of God's commands which oftentimes are difficult to follow"  God's love is indeed unconditional, but there are conditions for us to really experience the love of God.  When we feel that God is far away, let's find out if God left us or we veered away from Him, from His thoughts, His presence, His teachings.  He laid down commands for us to pursue and follow, these are qualifications for us to be with Him.  Indeed poor sinners like us are the ones who need most the love of God.  To experience this love, we need to know God more, serve Him and love Him in return..From the very start God had a good plan for us and has our welfare in mind.  Allowing us to humble ourselves, repent and return to Him, therefeore, is the manifestation in the strongest sense of God's love. 

In today's lesson, Jesus revealed himself valuing lowly people more.  He deals with sinners, tax collectors, children, widows, Samaritan woman, the downcasts, those taken by society for granted.  Indeed to Jesus these people are very valuable because they are the ones who need to know God more.
