Jesus’s love is a tough love. He is compassionate and yet lovingly confrontational. Jesus’s teachings would not match the definition of politically correct. Jesus observed that sin is evil. He listed such evil thought and behavior that come from within a person and defile the person (Mark 7:20–23). Is your love balanced like Christ’s love? This is lesson challenges the listener to change one’s heart. Jesus did not bend the truth so as not to offend. Jesus did not excuse sin. Jesus did not overlook Judgment Day and hide the place of Torment in Hell. Jesus flipped tables if He had to do that. Jesus exposed hypocrites openly if He had to do that. However, this was not His usually approach. This lesson will urge the listener to count the cost to follow Jesus. This is no other way.
