Hey if you meet him first, put in a good word for me also..:O) From what I have read, Jesus preferred sinners and publicans cause the religious of his day were too interesting...He even called (OMG) a tax collector to be an apostle.. God has a sense of humor, there is no other way to explain a duck billed platypus..

Jesus knew who would follow Him, regardless of “station” in life or history.

He denounced the Pharisees and publicans, not b/c they were too “interesting”, but because they were too legalistic and had the wrong motivations.

It comes down to Religion (the Pharisees) versus a Relationship (the sinners).

And i do agree that God has a sense of humor, and the duck billed platypus is a good example of that.
