Christ never won people over by extensive knowledge; in fact it was quite the opposite. Jesus would rebuke the religious leaders of the time, because of their arrogance and misinterpretation of the law. If Christ can love the sinner and hate the sin, then I believe that we are called to have an “Uncommon Love” for people. I don’t know but I think that is why He chose to die for us, because of His “Uncommon Love” called “Grace.”
