I don't recall anything in scripture that would lead someone to believe this. And of course the Gospels refute this concept. Jesus had compassion on the worst of sinners throughout his ministry. The Father was in him and he in the Father so whomever Jesus looked upon, God the Father also did.
However, even though Jesus can look upon you with the greatest love he does expect you repent if you wish to receive and follow him. Jesus said you cannot enter heaven without the baptism of the Holy Spirit and to do so you have to have faith and repentance (many overlook the latter). Without this you cannot be in close relationship with Him.
Happy Easter/Passover to you Trapped
