Do you think it’s possible to love someone while stepping back to let them make choices that will cause them pain or suffering? God does this for you. He has given you the freedom to choose how you want to live and who you want to live for and will step back if you choose not to follow Him. As Pastor Dion teaches today, you can see this unfold with the Jewish leaders. Jesus spoke to them many times about their hypocrisy, pride, and mistreatment of others, but they refused to bend, so Jesus stopped talking.
