John 8:1-11
Leviticus 20:10
Romans 8:1
________________________________________________________
In the story of John 8:1-11, the people brought to Jesus a woman adulteress for Jesus to judge her. There are 3 faults of the people here :
1) They interrupt Jesus while He was teaching
2) An adultery cannot be committed if there are not 2 parties, in this case, where is the male adulteress?
3) Where this matter is concerned, the people should bring the woman to a civil court to try instead of Jesus who is a religious teacher
- By grace Jesus forgives us first then He empowers us to do things
- The world system works this way : you make mistake you get punishment, however, Jesus way is you make mistake you confess to God and He restores you
- The saddest scene is knowing you are a sinner and you walk away (the people who brought the woman to be stoned walked away instead of admitting their sin)
JESUS HAS WASHED ALL MY SINS AND PUT AT THE CROSS, HE WAS AND IS MY JUSTIFICATION.
- We ought to cry for mercy not justice for if we cry for justice, we all die because we are all sinners daily in our frailty (even as believers). God's justice is death sentense so we ought to cry for mercy and grace
- God reach into our old heart and gives us sinner a new heart, we live a reformed life, we hate what the Lord hates, loves what the Lord loves.
- Live in perfection as Jesus is perfect
- Those who have been forgiven much forgives much, those who have been loved much loves much
