Wonder if the church will also want close the chasm between adulterers and faithful, or incestuous and normal too?

"Wonder if the church will also want close the chasm between adulterers and faithful, or incestuous and normal too?"

I was just thinking about the Baptism of the Lord by John the Baptist, how Christ Himself closed the gap between God and sinners, by standing with sinners.

Yes He did this, standing with sinners as if He Himself, the sinless One, needed baptism; sharing His Life with sinners, calling sinners to repentance and reconciliation, and dying for sinners.

Close the chasm? Yes. By the unthinkable riches of the Mercy of God.
