COMMENT: "'Christ always gravitated towards those who were pushed aside by the rest of society, and we try to follow that example,' Neal said." Yes, but when Jesus drew close to such people, He said, "Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more" (John 8:11), "Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me" (Luke 18:22), and "If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me" (Matthew 16:24).
