Crime and Punishment

If someone you knew confided in you that they had committed a crime (punishable by the law), what would you do? You could convince the person to turn themselves into the police. You could make the call for them, and turn the person in yourself. The last option is to ignore you ever heard any of it, and try to go on with life (as normal as it could be.
Some people have had to deal with above scenario in real-life. Probably very few of them ever thought ahead as to how they would respond in the midst of a crisis of this magnitude. It was an emotional calamity I would wish on no one. Some the most important events in our life require an immediate honest gut reaction from us.
How understanding are you of those who have been disaster? Sometimes, they go on for years. Are you truly empathetic to their plight? Do you selfishly hope they will quickly be done with their issues so all will return to normal? What can you do to make those in need experience as normal a life as possible? You are bound to do the correct thing if you mimic the love Jesus had for the needy around Him.
