But Jesus doesn’t come to make us look righteous. He comes to make us new. And the new life He brings can’t be stuffed into the old wineskin of self-righteousness. That’s why the Pharisees couldn’t stand Him. Their religion was working for them. Their fasting, their praying, their rituals—they made sense. They made them feel holy. And then Jesus shows up and sits down with tax collectors and prostitutes and sinners. He eats with them. Drinks with them. Forgives them. And that offends everyone who still believes holiness can be earned.
