Ashlei was free to spout off how much she loved her savior because Jesus was not about to rear back and tell her He did not quite feel the same way, that He had died for the sins of the world just because it was fun and did not want things to be too serious. He was only thirty-three, after all, and might want to martyr himself for other people.Thomm Quackenbush
About This Quote
When Jesus was asked to judge a man that had been caught in a sexual sin with a woman, He refused. "If any one of you has a matter against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? Do you not know that the saints will judge the world?" (1 Corinthians 6:1-2) Jesus did not want to be involved in a court case. Jesus did not want to be asked to give a sentence for someone else. Jesus wanted to love and do good. Not to judge another person.
