Love the sinner…
How many of you can finish this statement:
“Love the sinner….”
Tony Campolo says “wherever someone is hurting, there is Jesus.”
But then he also finishes the above statement. For those who say, “I love the sinner, but I hate his sin.” His response is that “that is just the opposite of what Jesus says…. Jesus says, ‘love the sinner and hate your own sin; and after you get rid of the sin in your own life, then you can begin talking about the sin in your brother or sister’s life.’”
I continue to believe that the more we get to know people and know their stories and know their backgrounds and know their hurts — the more we realize how similar we are and loving them becomes that much easier.
Huge props to Theresa for sharing this video.
