Jesus began his ministry by calling men and women to follow him and be his disciples. Today, the invitation of Jesus remains the same. Jesus came eating and drinking; he entered into and shared life with everyone–even messed up, confused, rough, wicked people. Jesus does not limit his invitation to those who have a nice, clean life and background. God is not offended by our wounds, our past, or our failures. Nothing prohibits Jesus from calling a person to follow him.
