What made Jesus` teaching so attactive to tax collectors and prostitutes?
Before God, we were born equal, but unqually blessed. Among us are rich men and poor men. In our life, the poor are the one serving God while the rich have no time for God. They neither pleases God or helping the poor ones. You can`t please God if you fail to help the poor ones and those who may need your help.

Because even though they sinned and is aware of their sins, They do know that repenting to the Lord Jesus Christ and accepting him as their Lord and Savior will get them to the Kingdom of Heaven. People who thinks they are living righteous, do not think to repent because they dont think they are sinning.

People look at sins diffenrently but we sin or have sined in our lives... The tax collectors and prostitutes were welcome in the house of God becasue they repent for their sins and they belived in the Lord. Just because someone sins doesn`t mean they dont believe in the Lord or his word.. We all my mistakes but as long as you believe and have faith you will be welcome in Gods house.. Amen

The parable of the two Sons
It is amazing how some of us christian folk look down on people who are doing wrongful things instead of trying to help them do the right thing. God uses us to tell the word of God to the people who don`t know him. After the unrighteous repent, they will make it into Gods` Kingdom. Some of the ones who feel that they are so righteous and don`t want to repent.

Because the tax collectors and prostitutes are sinning, people look at them as outcast but Jesus teaching caught their attention. Jesus want the unrighteous he want them to learn about the kingdom of God. Some of the righteous people will not repent for their sins. The tax collectors and the prostitutes will make it in the kingdom of God before some of the righteous because they will repent.

What made Jesus` teaching so attactive to tax collectors and prostitutes?
The Tax Collectors and Prostitutes were very aware of their sins ''robbing the poor and adultery'', they did not then pretend to be righteous but repented immediately when they heard John`s message. The second son pretends to be righteous and most certainly would have been keepin all the laws of Moses ''Rich Man + Righteous man who prays''. They felt justified in the way of the law because it was something they could control, Jesus was asking to give full control over to God and to become a servant. in the eyes of the `righteous` Jesus was askin for tooo much - God became too demanding...

The Parable of the Two Sons

But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, 'Son, go work today in my vineyard.' He answered, 'I will not,' but afterward he changed his mind, and went. He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, 'I go, sir,' but he didn't go. Which of the two did the will of his father?"
They said to him, "The first."
Jesus said to them, "Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into the Kingdom of God before you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn't believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn't even repent afterward, that you might believe him.
