The New Testament is replete with instances where Jesus Christ chooses to spend time with social outcasts, sinners, and so-called misfits rather than with the religious elite. This evident in his interactions with tax collectors, fishermen, and even a Samaritan woman. This poses a compelling question: why did Jesus favor these seemingly unworthy individuals over those who, by societal standards, were considered virtuous and devout? The answer lies in the contrast between self-righteousness and genuine humility, the limitations of ritualistic piety, and a broader, more inclusive vision of community and spirituality.
