What would Jesus do?

I think Jesus would look for an option that would protect the true dignity of all. Outwardly, that may not conform to the normal romanticized and idealized version of 'love'.

Did Jesus not berate and whip the traders outside the holy temple of God in Jerusalem? He drove the money changers out, accusing them of turning the holy father's house into a market place. If that was done today, such a person would be in a high security mental asylum or penitentiary. And of course, it is definitely not advisable at any cost . But I bring that up in order to attempt a full image of Jesus, against the extremely dovish (or allegedly loving) aura that is cast upon him.

At the same time, if we raise an accusing finger at those rendered 'immoral' due to force of circumstances, Jesus would look at us in the eye and ask, "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her," (John 8:7). And when the force of unrighteous anger and hatred in us dies before Jesus' spiritual honesty, he would turn towards the true repentant with loving empathic eyes and say "Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more," (John 8:11).

And all the while, Jesus would proclaim the supreme highness of god, before his puny earth personality. I think that is what Jesus would do. He truly is an exemplar. No wonder the entity has inspired millions over the centuries, to find dignity in god and humankind. I pray to god that I receive the ability to project love and honesty, as Jesus did.
