One thing God nor Jesus ever said is “I like to see my creations in pain!” This being the case if you are in pain LOOK at the cause! The power of sin is the law – I didn’t say that – the Bible did! So lets ask some simple questions for pain elimination shall we:
At what point can a person “sin no more”?
Why is it important to NOT judge but only LOVE instead?
So there was Jesus, He had just gotten back from the Mount of Olives and a little rest when the “teachers of the law” tried to trap Him. The result is we see one of the greatest expressions of grace ever.
Here was a woman caught in adultery which by the standards of the day made her a hooker or a whore. By the law she should have been stoned but by grace she was made righteous.
“Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
“No one Sir” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you” Jesus declared
“Go now and leave your life of sin.” – John 8:10-11
The difference between the “teachers of the law” and Jesus could easily be summed up in one word- LOVE!!
The one perfect being that could have condemned her did not.
What about you? Are you ready to be Loved and NOT condemned? There is only one path to that and it’s not the denial so many people try.
If you were born in America or a few other countries you are lucky enough to be able to say two magic words to the “teachers of the law” today, “Blow me!”
But that won’t heal the soul only Jesus can do that.
Did this woman suddenly have no sexual desire?
Did she come to a place where she Never did anything wrong again?
After all that is what Jesus told her to do isn’t it?
The law brings you to Christ and in that way the law is good. BUT at the point that you really meet Christ the law has done its job and you are a new creation. “ALL things have become new” and no one can condemn you because you are no longer under the law!!!
Don’t worry- Be Grace-Full!!
