How does Jesus illustrate His love for sinners?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus illustrates His love for sinners by receiving them without hesitation, demonstrating God's grace and mercy.

In Luke 15:2, the Pharisees criticized Jesus for eating with sinners. However, this act was a fundamental expression of His mission—to seek and save the lost. The parable of the lost sheep reinforces this by showing that it is not the worthiness of the sinner that matters, but the grace of the Shepherd who seeks them. Paul affirms this truth in 1 Timothy 1:15, stating, 'Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.' This demonstrates that Christ's ministry is rooted in mercy and His desire to restore those who are lost and broken.
