It's so easy to judge

Romans 5:8 - ... While we were STILL sinners, Christ died for us. (emphasis my own) In a demonstration of His love, Christ did just that.

Do I understand what this little line, used time and time again in Christian speech, actually means?

The lust-ladened eyes that sweeps over a scantily clad lady, foxy grin on his face. Written plain on his face what he has in mind. Can the Lord who knows the hearts of men look on that and decide to demonstrate his love?

Sex workers - the victims of circumstance, victims I understand.
The poor, theives, hunger drives them - also victims perhaps.

But men/people who have the power to choose and chooses to victimize. That I cannot, sometimes will not. However the fact remains. God demonstrated His love for "whoever" believes in Him. Yes, even that lusty old man in Victoria coffeeshop. So who am I to judge?
