Inspiration
John Chapter 8 contains a well-known story about an adulterous woman. The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees were attempting to trap Jesus by bringing an adulterous woman to Him. Nevertheless, He stressed the fact that sin is sin. For the moment, he had been able to convince them to stop judging others, and to take an honest look at their sin nature. He would be in violation of the Law of Moses if he recommended her release, and if not, they could accuse Him of inciting murder before the Roman authorities. With a few words, Christ silenced all accusing voices and pointing fingers. Jesus did not excuse this woman's adultery by holding it against the Law of God. Rather, He challenged her to confess her wrongdoing and to not commit it again. He also atoned for her sins through His atoning death. Adultery resulted in stoning, but all sins and trespasses resulted in death. It does not matter whether the sins are committed by the body or sins committed by prideful hearts. In contrast, God's gift is eternal life, which is accessed through the Lord Jesus Christ. His sacrifice rendered the punishment that we deserved for our sin.
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that my sins have been forgiven, and there is no condemnation for those who belong to Jesus Christ. The truth is that I have often criticized others, forgetting that I have committed grievous sins myself, but Your grace has covered them. Having a life that pleases You is important to me. It is my prayer that Your new life within displays the grace and love of the Lord Jesus to others, just as You do to me. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
