What would Jesus Do>?

Im after Mercy not Religion

ever wandered what Jesus meant when He said these words?
When have you felt like the outsider in MAtthew 9:9-13
When have people scrutinized and criticized you for the people you associated with?
Do you think their judgement was fair?

when i thought and read this chapter of the Word, i thought it was rather straight forward, MAtthew the tax collector had supper with Jesus in his house and the other people teased and criticized Jesus.

However, if we think more and deeper into the word and reflect on ourselves, have we been like JEsus? associating with the wrong crowd or people?
maybe ? yes no?
People used to tell me, do not make friends with these, do not associate with those people?
What would Jesus do?
What will Jesus do when there is a person we can reach out to but he is a criminal?
What will Jesus do when a outcasted person is lying on the road asking for help?
What will Jesus do when bad people need forgiveness?

Come to think about it, i was one of those people. In fact, we were those people.
We received forgiveness from God's mercy and God's Grace.
Why would we then not forgive or neglect other people?
Why would we not associate with those people because the world says so?
If that is the case, we should not associate with "US"

Thank you Oh Lord for your forgiveness, mercy and grace.
Teach us and show us to forgive and accept others
Lead us not into the temptation of other people
Deliver us from the evil thoughts of the world.
Thank you Jesus
