Jesus Was Holy… But He Still Sat With Sinners

Main message: If your holiness pushes people away, you may be doing something wrong; Jesus was holy yet still engaged sinners without deceit or condoning their sin. Emulate his plain, guileless holiness while rubbing shoulders with people.

Key points:

• Jesus was without sin and without guile.
• He didn’t trick people into thinking sin was acceptable.
• He still spent time with sinners and publicans, acknowledging who they were.
• Holiness should draw people in, not alienate them.

Scriptures mentioned: 1 Peter 2:22
