They said it while "grumbling" but had no idea that I would sit here one day and write that I so appreciate the truth of what they said. As "the tax collectors and the sinners" were coming near to Jesus to listen to Him, the scribes and the Pharisees both were saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them." Indeed, what grand news this was! A tax collector I have never been but a sinner I have been my entire life. Yes Pharisees and scribes, He receives sinners. He draws them. He gives them faith to believe. He forgives them. He clothes them in His righteousness. He makes them part of His body, the church. He is not ashamed to call the one who has been born again His brethren. He has prepared a place for them in His presence and promises to one day return for them. Such love and mercy is not to be grumbled about but praised with thankful hearts. This man receives sinners, praise God!
