We can learn a lot about how to correctly handle sin from Jesus - and how not to from the religious leaders who constantly challenged him:

The religious leaders:

 - were self-righteous, judgemental & condemning

 - had a biased, incomplete view of righteousness

Jesus demonstrated:

 - understanding

 - compassion

 - forgiveness

 - the pursuit of true righteousness
