So what if you were called a glutton and a drunkard and accused of keeping bad company? Pretty bad testimony, right?

Guess who was called that?

Luke 7:34. The Son of man has come eating and drinking; and you say, 'Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' (RSV)

Maybe that’s taken out of context, these actually may have been people trying to conjure up bad things to say about Jesus. I don’t know.

I do know he did hang out with sinners. But notice, he wasn’t influenced by them.
