Jesus reaction

Hi! He doesn`t condemn but sits with them saying that it`s people like them who need him - the ones who need healing need the physician so they need him. He came to call the sinners and invite them to repent. He is here rightly for them.

on fasting

Hallo! My first thought goes to the teaching regarding the question of the purity and impurity and how the vessel has to be clean. We need to renew the body to host the new purified soul. So what also comes to mind is when Jesus talked about the rebuilding the temple in three days after the Resurrection. So far so good - here am turning the answer into my question for discussion - but isn`t fasting a way of controlling our insticts and potential pitfalls? as well as a form of penance. So why should it come later.It should be a way of purifying oureslves. It seems here in fact it is a practice linked to mourning - they`ll fast when Jesus is dead until He resurrects. Now it is a time of joy. Still is there a connection between the two? two seemingly unrelated interpretations?

a forgiving hand

Morn! He offers a forgiving hand instead of pointing his finger at the sinner and condemning with harsh words. He brings healing through repentance. He has come to gather and heal the lost sheep.
