"It is not the healthy who need a doctor"

I once saw an analogy (actually several times) where one person would stand on a table or anything elevated like that, pretending to be a christian, and another person would stand on the ground next to the table pretending to be a lost person. the person on the table would try to pull the other person up, but wasn't able to, and then the guy on the ground would try and pull the guy on the table down, which he did real easily, and the moral of the story was, don't hang out with the wrong crowd or person, 'cause they can pull you down much easier the you can pull them up.
now there's only one thing missing from this analogy, something that would flip the moral around some.
you're not alone on the table, were not the ones who would really pull others up, its Christ, we are just the tools that he uses to do that.
Jesus said in Mark 2:17, "its not the healthy that need healing but the sick", Jesus didn't say go out into all the world and hang out with the good people. we were sent to the lost people of this world.

well that was my first post, please tell me your thoughts.
