Renewed Living Prayer Ministry

Saturday morning

John 8:6

 

Jesus was seen writing/drawing in the sand but to this day we don’t know what he wrote.

 

And while he was writing a woman accused of sin deserving of being stoned was brought before jesus. And the Pharisees were hoping he would say something that would not only condemn her, but to condemn himself as they were looking to find something wrong and sinful in him. But his answer stopped the accuser’s dead in their tracks and forced them to release her. He told them he who has no sin may cast the first stone. Amazing huh? The only man without sin was jesus himself. And not only did they no longer condemn her but neither did he. He gave her back her life and freedom and told her to sin no more.

Now you may ask, why did he do that? She clearly did something against the law and she should have had to take the punishment. Jesus saw fit to have unexpected mercy and grace on her and on all of us, otherwise none of us would be able to complete our walk. Because we have sinned, we have fallen short of the glory of god and are all deserving of death. We have all failed.

But the good news is we have gods grace and mercy too, when we slip and fall into sin he forgives us. Allow gods mercy and grace to change you, show mercy and grace to others. Be the light and salt of the earth that he called you to be.
