Can you show me the love of Jesus that resides in your last statement?
This hypothetical junk to paint us as less than authentic lacks any Biblical backing as far as reaching out to the lost.
I'm not sure what bible your reading from for Jesus many times was very upset with the hardness of heart he experienced with the rulers of the day. Jesus spoke in may parables (or hypotheticals). The ruling leaders didn't "feel" the love of Christ, that is why the sought to kill him. Truth did not hide behind words to placate and please. Truth came to reveal to men what they really were. Those willing to be chastised by God and repent did not feel demeaned, but uplifted, and directed by Gods love (although stern) to a new direction and set upon a new path.
You ask so I answer. Have we come to a place where we put anything before God? Has our hearts become so hardened that even if one comes and chastises in Christ’s name we fail to recognize it?
I'm reminded of arguments the Pharisees offered Christ each time He healed on the Sabbath. Even when people suffered for nearly 4 decades with debilitating diseases that the Pharisees could not even begin to cure, they blamed Christ for healing them because it crossed one iota of the Mosaic tradition. Have we creation of tradition of placation at the expense of millions and millions of babies? I pray not.
But for those that hide behind the tradition at the expense of life, mercy, and love, were called far worse, by Christ, than any words I've used. Whitewashed tombs full of dead men’s bones, hypocrites, brood of vipers...are we feeling the love yet? Lets not be afraid to demonstrate both the love and judgment of Christ. Otherwise we lose our salt, and fail to let our light shine.
Just like the hungry, we will always have the lost with us (for even Judas among the twelve remained lost regardless of how close physically he was to Christ). But His sheep will recognize His voice, even when it is stern as often as it is, even when it chastises, and they will respond and will not be lost.
