Purposeful UnComfortableness

There, he did it again! He intentionally went to associate with those who are vile, rejected, prejudiced against, alienated, and lived below dirt level on the social ladder. When spoken about they were surrounded with the most disgusting and segregated language possible, the words that degraded their humanity. Their presence could also invoke threats and violence. He accepted an invitation, associated together and had dinner with them. Didn’t he understand his position, what people would think and the shadow it would create for his future? No matter, Jesus went to Matthew’s place and shared a meal with his friends. And beyond that He invited you and I to become purposefully uncomfortable for him and remember who needs a Savior.
