Everyone Needs Forgiveness

One day, at dawn, people gathered around Jesus in the Temple courts to listen to His teaching. Suddenly Jesus was interrupted. The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery and pushed her in front of Jesus. They wanted to stone her to death, but they had an ulterior motive too (v. 5). They wanted to trap Jesus with their questions.

The Romans did not allow the Jews to carry out death sentences, so if Jesus approved her stoning, He would conflict with the Romans. If he said not to stone her, He could have been accused of not supporting the Law.

When Jesus bent down to write in the sand, they kept questioning Him. After His response in verse seven, He bent down again and wrote something else. After a long pause, everyone walked away, leaving just Jesus and the woman. He told her, since they did not condemn her, He wouldn’t either (v. 11). He gave her a second chance, saying, “Go now and leave your life of sin” (v. 11). Jesus did not judge or excuse the woman, He offered something better: forgiveness. He offers that to you and me today.

Too often we are quick to judge and condemn others. When we are tempted to find fault and declare someone’s worth, particularly in public shaming, Jesus shows us another way. We, too, have sinned. We all need forgiveness. He has also given us a second chance. Make sure you are giving others a second chance as well.

God, please forgive me for treasuring up anger and grievances against those who rub me the wrong way. God give me Your perspective on the people I resent—and on the sources of my resentment. Help me, and cause me to treat others with wisdom, love, and respect. Thank You Jesus.

Dear Father in heaven, forgive me all of my sins and cleanse my heart from all evil and sin. Please, save all my students and keep them saved. I worry so much for them so they will not miss heaven. O Lord be merciful unto all of us and be with us till You call us home to heaven. Amen

Yes, we all need forgiveness from the Lord. It is His mercy that touched my heart and given me a forgiven heart. Thanks for sharing.
