The Message from Jesus is Not Guilty
Whether
we receive private or public shame, it is always
painful. And unless you deal with it, it can be permanent. In The eighth chapter
of John we are told about a woman caught in the act of adultery. It was really
designed to be a trap to snag or fool Jesus. The woman was only the bait
in the Pharisees’ game. Jesus responded by writing in the sand and
saying, “Anyone here who has never sinned can throw the first stone at her.”
I
believe it did not take long before all the Pharisees would leave and
give up on this trick. Jesus and the woman are left alone and he
said to her, “I also don’t judge you guilty.”
If
you’ve ever wondered how God reacts when you fail, read these words and let
them wash over your soul. Jesus left a message—not in the sand, but on a
cross. Not with his hand, but with his blood.
Please remember all the people on our prayer list.
