He went to search of sinners.

“When it is a question of a sinner He does not merely stand still, open his arms and say, ‘Come hither’; no, He stands there and waits, as the father of the lost son waited, rather He does not stand and wait, He goes forth to seek, as the shepherd sought the lost sheep, as the woman sought the lost coin. He goes- yet no, He has gone, but infinitely farther than any shepherd or any woman, He went, in sooth, the infinitely long way from being God to becoming man, and that way He went to search of sinners.” Søren Kierkegaard

"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." Luke 19:10
