“We want to hear that everyone is all right exactly as they are; that God loves us as we are and doesn’t want us to change. People often say this when they want to justify particular types of behavior, but the argument doesn’t work. When the blind and lame came to Jesus, he didn’t say, ‘You’re all right as you are.’ He healed them. They wouldn’t have been satisfied with anything less. When the prostitutes and extortioners came to Jesus (or, for that matter, to John the Baptist), he didn’t say, ‘You’re all right as you are.’ His love reached them WHERE they were, but his love refused to let them stay AS they were. Love wants the best for the beloved. Their lives were transformed, healed, changed.”

N.T. Wright, Matthew for Everyone
