Why is Jesus called a friend for all sinners?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is called a friend for all sinners because He welcomes anyone to come to Him for forgiveness and reconciliation.

Jesus Christ extends His friendship to all sinners, reflecting a profound compassion that transcends our earthly conditions. The nature of His friendship is inclusive; He does not cast aside anyone based on their past or current state. His willingness to receive sinners stems from His mercy and infinite love. While the world often judges based on merit or appearance, Jesus invites all who acknowledge their unworthiness to come to Him, offering them peace, forgiveness, and a new identity in Him. This makes Him the very best friend for those who recognize their need for salvation and hope.
