THE DESIRE TO DO THE CORRECT THING

"And Jesus said to her, 'Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.'" (John 8:11 NKJV)

We should not condone sinful behavior any more than Jesus approved of the activities of the woman at the well or the woman caught in adultery.  But Jesus focused more on connection than correction.  He knew that when the connection grew strong, so would the desire to do the correct thing.
