Jesus says that He receives those - and only those - who are sinful and lost. Not only does He accept us in our sinful condition, but it brings Him great joy to welcome and pardon us.
Jesus says that in order to inherit the Kingdom, we must become like children. What does He mean by this?
In the parable of the praying Pharisee and the tax collector, Jesus shows us that self-righteousness always prevents us from experiencing God's mercy.
Following Jesus means having a mindset that sees beyond the here and now.
