Scripture Reading: Luke 7:36-50
Jesus did not turn His back on social pleasures. Herein He differed from the Baptist. We are almost certainly right in saying that John would not have gone to the wedding feast in Cana — Jesus went, and went gladly. John, we are quite sure, would not have gone to diner at the Pharisee’s house — Jesus accepted the invitation without a question and without hesitation. His heart was full of gracious love for men, and He sought every opportunity to do good. He was in the world, but His life remained heavenly in its purity and sweetness. Wherever He went, He carried blessing.
