Some folks were socially at ease with him. But some seemed to make a fuss - to such an extent that it could be embarrassing.
But Jesus didn't seem fazed by it, In fact he seemed to enjoy it. Maybe it was because he knew that this is how grace feels to those starved of hope.
That's still how it feels.2021-02-1429 min
