Love the Sinner Hate the Sin... Said Jesus Never

In the redundancy of love the sinner hate the sin we overlook that Jesus calls us, each and every one of us without exception, to love.

Especially not religious leaders like me. Jesus did not let the adulterous woman off the hook. In showing mercy and forgiveness (we call this grace) Jesus also shows that holiness matters as he acknowledged her past, forgave her, and then telling her to sin no more and inviting her to step into grace.
