The Bridge Church

And I would say it this way, when compassion becomes suspect, viewed as an expression of weakness or a lack of conviction, I think we lose touch with the heart of Jesus. Jesus was, I would argue, fully aware of the sin and brokenness embodied by the crowds, but he always looked at them with compassion. How are we stewarding compassion for the person that we disagree with, that we don't know anything about, that we've kind of decided our opinion of them and for them?
