loved him…

"21 And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, " (From Mark 10)

What if…in our conversations we dropped the idea that we are judge, jury, or prosecuting attorney?  Jesus looked listen and loved him – then spoke.  I've never noticed that before.  Love guided the response to the rich young guy. It's definitely worth some thought.

    Interesting observation. It is alo interesting that love guided Jesus to command him to sell his possessions which exposed the young man’s heart and wrecked his view of the world. (Just thinking out load…er on your comments)
