The Gospel of Christ is Salvation to the Sinner (2:13-14, 17)
Jesus preached the Gospel to sinners. Jesus called the most unlikely of candidates to follow Him.
The Gospel of Christ is an Offense to the Self-Righteous (2:15-17)
The self-righteous cannot receive a Gospel that is founded on grace. Jesus reaches down to sinners on the street level of their lives, while the scribes sought to protect themselves from any potential contamination with sinners. We need to follow Jesus’ example of being a friend of sinners and pointing them to the Gospel.
