Galatians 6 New King James Version (NKJV)
Bear and Share the Burdens
6 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. 2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For each one shall bear his own load....

how many believe in restoration to those who fell ? Christians are the worse at sacrificing there own.. a guy i know use to preach yes he was bit hard core ..him and his wife started having problems.. soon split then divorced . he no longer is a minister he reverted back to the pool games in the bars. just recently got a driving left of center and DWI. he already had a mark against him by some as a preacher he had a previous marriage BEFORE GRACE . our past when we get saved is no longer remembered .. i have seen folks get out of church and the gossip the o my how terrible ..ya know the well i never as they look over the top of the glasses . now what did paul write ( if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted} how soon we forget what did jude say ? 22 And on some have compassion, making a distinction;[d] 23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire,[e] hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

how soon we forget Love covers a multitude of sins yes as soon as i can i plan on talking to him.. simply to remind him of the Bible he once preached. not tell him how wrong he is.. but how right he can be again.. we have a advocate so do we either A kick then while there down. or B offer a hand and lift them up ?
 
How many times have many of us failed Jesus to only return back to the world, but somewhere along the line we were brought back to Him by the compassion of others. Society type Christians look down their nose, but true Christians help in times of need.
 
It's like unto the parable Jesus shared concerning the shepherd seeking the one little lamb that became lost from the fold. The lamb wandered off following their nose and was lost from the fold. Did the shepherd say, well the lamb should have known to stay close to his own and those are the consequences? No, the shepherd sought after the lamb and returned that one to the many. Because the shepherd knows his sheep and loves them and will never let them stray. Because the shepherd is wiser than the sheep that follow after being they bear the mind of a sheep. And the shepherd wiser and knowing this loves them eternally anyway.
