Tax Collectors and Sinners Draw near to Him
Luke 15:1 says, "Tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to Jesus." The end of the previous chapter contains the strongest verses in all of Scripture regarding discipleship. Jesus preached them because the crowds were bloated. They were filled with people who weren't true disciples. Jesus wanted to thin the ranks. The tax collectors and sinners not only remained but drew closer to him. They were tired of their spiritual sickness, and wanted to be made well.
