My heart has been captivated by two situations - the woman caught in adultery (John 8) and the conversation Jesus had with Peter after the resurrection (John 21). I am hoping someone would go grab their Bible and see for themselves.
Jesus wants both the woman and Peter to deal with sin. After being caught in adultery - Jesus points out that sin is leading to a predicatiable outcome...unless she changes course SIN would have killed her - literally. After denying Jesus three times - Peter was questioned by Jesus - "Do you love me?"
What fascinates me is how Jesus, who could demanded a confession from both the woman and Peter, chose instead to ask from them to make a declaration of their LOVE.
What if I were do the same? Rather than just confessing what I may have done wrong - I start to practice confessing who it is I love. Sinner...can you today declare your love for Jesus.
