Luke 14:1-6, Jesus also eats with Pharisees as well as (and moreover) Jesus welcomes the sinners on His table to dine with Him (Matthew 9:10). As He received them, so we should. Share the Word, feel their affliction, uphold their cause, and live a life that cares. Like Jesus did.

Let us remove ourselves from being a Pharisee who points other people's guilt, shame their situation, and mock their individuality  (Matt 9:10). Everyone is important to the Lord. 

God intends a full house and for his eternal food to be enjoyed. So he gave his one and only Son to give his life a ransom for many (John 3:16, Mark 10:45)  and to have guests (Jews and Gentiles, sinners and even Pharisees to God's heavenly banquet. it is by receiving Him and His life and continuing to work out our salvation and righteousness with Him, everyday.
