The people in the New Testament who loved Jesus were often sinners. Today, those are the ones who reject Him. Jesus surrounded Himself with unholy people. His disciples today try to turn the unrighteous away. The Jesus the world sees is not the Jesus who truly is.
Jesus used parables to get the audience to agree and become likeminded (Luke 15:1-10). He understood His audience and spoke to them in ways they understood, not over their heads.
