What made Jesus` teaching so attactive to tax collectors and prostitutes?
As we all know, Jesus Christ ?the most humble, the omnipotent, Omnipresent and omniscience was preaching ?come ye unto me all those that are labor and heavy laden, and I will give you rest? repent and be converted for the kingdom of God has come to you, whosoever come to me I will not cast him out, the taxes collectors are listening to this announcement, the prostitutes are listening to this humble man; like those prostitutes, this time they might be rejected by this self-righteous people, thank God there is good news for them ?whosoever come to me I will not drive him out' another thing that move me not only those people is that; word of Almighty God, He said, ?I will use the foolish, to confound the wise? now there is hope for the hopeless, also ?I will have mercy on whom I will' praise God for his love and his grace for us.

Jesus` teaching is a hope to the tax collectors and prostitutes of forgiveness. The unrighteous, the sinners who confess and repent will not die for their unrighteousness, they will be forgiven.

A very good example to show how important for us to have faith in God. As long as we have faith in God and being obedient to God`s law, God will accept us no matter we did and who we were in the past.

Jesus came here for the sinners not for the righteous.... so the teachings of Jesus touched their hearts.

when a ``clean man`` see water he does not desire a was because he sees himself as clean but when a man covered with mud sees water he definately would want to wash himself in it becuase he knows he is dirty.the tax collectors and prostitute were the rejected of society and here is Jesus telling them that they can be reconciled to God and accepted by Him what a wonderful word they were hearing.

The parable of the two Sons
It is amazing how some of us christian folk look down on people who are doing wrongful things instead of trying to help them do the right thing. God uses us to tell the word of God to the people who don`t know him. After the unrighteous repent, they will make it into Gods` Kingdom. Some of the ones who feel that they are so righteous and don`t want to repent.

Because the tax collectors and prostitutes are sinning, people look at them as outcast but Jesus teaching caught their attention. Jesus want the unrighteous he want them to learn about the kingdom of God. Some of the righteous people will not repent for their sins. The tax collectors and the prostitutes will make it in the kingdom of God before some of the righteous because they will repent.

The Tax Collectors and Prostitutes were very aware of their sins ''robbing the poor and adultery'', they did not then pretend to be righteous but repented immediately when they heard John`s message. The second son pretends to be righteous and most certainly would have been keepin all the laws of Moses ''Rich Man + Righteous man who prays''. They felt justified in the way of the law because it was something they could control, Jesus was asking to give full control over to God and to become a servant. in the eyes of the `righteous` Jesus was askin for tooo much - God became too demanding...

The Parable of the Two Sons

But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in my vineyard.' He answered, 'I will not,' but afterward he changed his mind, and went. He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, 'I go, sir,' but he didn't go. Which of the two did the will of his father?"
They said to him, "The first."
Jesus said to them, "Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn't believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn't even repent afterward, that you might believe him.
