This episode reveals the importance of seeing every person through the eyes and love of Jesus. Only Jesus is the righteous judge. As believers, our calling is to love others the way He loves and to extend grace just as He has so generously given to us.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
Romans 1:16
