Jesus loved the rich young ruler. When Judas betrayed Him with a kiss,
He called him, "friend." On the cross He was pleading with the Father,
to forgive. He deliberately sought out Peter who denied Him with
vehement swearing, Thomas the doubter, and Paul the blasphemer. May God
grant us the power of such gracious love. No one ever cared for you
like Jesus? How do you, as the bearer of His image care for others--all
others.

Anyone who tries to tell you that works are necessary for salvation is
an enemy of the cross. Paul tells us that our attitude toward such
people should be broken-heartedness. Tears. Love. And love is always
expressed in prayer.
