He said we should look at people like Jesus looked at people. That where we might see rebellion and laziness, Jesus simply saw sheep without a shepherd.
And it was by seeing people through these eyes that Jesus was able to have compassion on them.
Philippians 3:10 talks about the "fellowship of his sufferings". Which means we are joined together with God when we have compassion where He has compassion, when what breaks God's heart also breaks ours.
I think serving God means seeing people as Jesus does. With hearts of compassion. Not as people making mistakes or wasting their potential, not as blights to society or individuals unwilling to help themselves, not as lazy or rebellious. But as the lost sheep of the world.
How would life be different if we chose to see one another through Jesus' eyes?
