Clean-Up on Aisle Five

By all reports President Trump has some major clean up to do after the summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. To me the political and media Pharisees of today are reminiscent of those who attacked and undermined Jesus at every turn. “While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and “sinners” were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the “sinners” and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and ‘sinners’?” On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners” (Mark 2:15-17 NIV).
