How do we know that Jesus welcomed sinners?

The conduct of Jesus exemplifies His mission to seek and save the lost, as seen in His willingness to dine with sinners, including Pharisees, which illustrates His approach toward the unconverted. The invitation to dine with the Pharisee in Luke 11:37-44 serves as a model for Christians to engage with those outside the faith, while maintaining a clear commitment to truth and faithfulness in rebuking sin. This engagement should not compromise Christian values but should reflect a heart aimed at connecting with others in sharing God's love.
