This is an interesting take, here’s why: over compassion is not good just like under compassion is not good. It really is a fine line.
Jesus was compassionate, in that as God, he came to save those who are effectively his enemies, he then offers grace, and God alone is strong enough to remove the scales from our eyes.
Jesus speaks harshly and more about hell than anyone else in the Bible. He calls the Pharisees things like “you brood of vipers” and condemned them publicly quite frequently, then at Jacobs well, which was built 4,000 years ago and is still in use today, he treats a Samaritan women kindly, though she was an outward sinner, as well as eating with tax collectors and such.
David Wood is a really good YouTube-er to watch to understand this fine line. We must be harsh yet compassionate, as I said before, it’s a fine line to walk. May God give us grace to know what to say at just the right time.
