From: Ambassadors For Christ International - John North
Be sure and notice this: it is Jesus Himself making this statement. The religious legalists of Jesus’ day didn’t like His take on God’s word. They thought that religious people shouldn’t associate with anyone who wasn’t a fellow-legalist.
They looked on those who surrounded Jesus as "sinners". They criticized Jesus for going to parties with these people. They couldn’t comprehend it when Jesus said that was what they should be doing too, because those secular people were the ones who needed to be exposed to God.
If you get to know God’s word, you’ll see that its purpose isn’t to constrain you, but a very relational book to help you experience true love and joy...now and forever. Jesus said that if we were to sum up the whole Bible, we would see it showing us how to love God and love people.
