Worse Sinners, More Guilty?

A tower under construction in the south end of Jerusalem, in Siloam, came crashing down taking the lives of eighteen people. And Jesus was aware that the popular buzz surrounding this tragedy, and others like it, was that those who were killed must have been really bad sinners who had it coming. There's a reason that we tend to think this way. But Jesus tells us that we’re looking at incidents like this all wrong. Instead of putting on our judges’ robes to guess who’s the biggest sinner he redirects our attention to where it should be.
