that we are not truly loving people the way
Jesus did if we shy back from the truth in
the name of love. Jesus never did that. His
love runs so much deeper.

Beloved, let’s be like Jesus—full of
compassion, yet uncompromising in truth.
May we never cease to declare with boldness
the unchanging, constant, unconditional,
infinite, undeserved, adamant love of God—
but let’s remember that love always calls us
out of brokenness into something better.
Let’s never forget that the same Jesus who
says, “Neither do I condemn you,” says, “Go
and leave your life of sin.” He doesn’t just
forgive our sins and remove our shame.
He sets us free from sin’s tyrannical rule
in our lives and invites us into life as He
intended for us. God, in His adamant love
for us, won’t settle for anything less.
We shouldn’t either.
