Jesus was quick to forgive....
I think about the woman who was about to be stoned
because she was accused of adultery. I can just picture it now: the Pharisees
were standing around ready to throw a
stone and Jesus showed up. And when Jesus started questioning them, they tried
to trap Him into saying something that would incriminate Him too. But Jesus
just bends down and starts writing something in the sand. No clue what He was writing, but personally,
I always thought He was writing all the names of the men she committed adultery
with. After all, it does take two to tango.
Yet they wouldn't let up and kept demanding an
answer. So Jesus gave them one that
would change the course of that moment. John 8:7 NLT tells us He stood up again and said, “All
right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” And the bible tells us that one by one all
the Pharisees left.
Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where
are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said.
And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” John 8:10-11 NLT
This is truly an awesome testimony of just how quick God
is to forgive us our sins. But folks, sometimes it seems we forget one of the
most important things He said to this woman.
"Go and sin no more." John 8:11 NLT
Let me encourage you today to make a fresh start with God. And when you do, let go of the things your
flesh craves and cling to the things of God. I promise you....Jesus will
show up!
Be blessed my family & friends!
Love you all,
