In his ministry, Jesus was most often drawn to the poor, the sick, and the sinners. He had special compassion for the nobodies, the neer-do-wells, and the socially unacceptable. This King had friends in low places. He humbled the proud and lifted up the lowly. He reminded us that the truly great must play the part of the servant. He taught that when sitting as a guest at a party, we should take the least important seat. He demonstrated concern for the lost and great compassion for those who were considered lowly. Jesus befriended sinners and taught about a God of second chances. Have we made friends in low places? or do we consider ourselves too good for that? Are we learning from them and offering them hope? Lord, help us to see others through the lens of your grace, and to always remember that you are the God of second chances. Amen.
