Through these three stories, Jesus expressed both to the religious leaders and to the ones whom they considered to be the scum of the earth, “I do not care why these people are the way they are. I do not care if it was their nature to be this way. I do not care if it was their circumstances that caused them to be this way. In fact, I do not even care if they wanted to be this way. I love them! If they will receive Me, and if they will listen to me I will receive them and restore them to what is theirs. Let’s party!” Can you see the Father? That is a snapshot of God our Father!
