Text: Luke 7:33-50
- When we look at these scenes of Jesus at meals ... we learn things about Jesus. Jesus reveals truth about Himself many times at these meals. - Jesus used meals for more than fuel. They were ministry opportunities.
- He built relationships, ministered to people, taught people, helped people. Meals mattered a great deal in the life and ministry of Jesus.
- Jesus was CRITICIZED for how engaged in these meals.Some people didn't like WHO Jesus at with. So they would even lie about him and call him a drunk and a glutton.

A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' 35 Yet wisdom is justified by all her children."
- Because they saw him as a friend of sinners ... they called him these other things. - The truth his these people that would do this didn't understand WHO He is or WHY He came. They didn't get it. They were blinded by their own sin and self-righteousness.
- The next scene in Luke is Jesus going to a meal of a PHARISEE. - You see ... Jesus didn't just eat with people many Pharisees deemed sinners ... He also ate with the Pharisees. He ate with all sorts of sinners. - Jesus came for sinners, He came to save people.
- Jesus saves religious people and irreligious people.
