DO YOU NEED TO FORGIVE SOMEONE? PART 4
DEPICTION:
THE WOMAN CAUGHT IN ADULTERY
As
an adult I was plagued by memories of people who I felt mistreated
me.
The term mistreatment means different things to different people.Some
of behaviors that I call mistreatment may even seem trivial to some
people.Mistreatment can range from the lies told about you to others to harsh physical abuse inflicted by someone.
The point of this conversation is, that the Lord requires us to forgive people who mistreat us.
It is not easy and He'll help us erase hatred for
these people.He'll soften our hearts if we seek
His help.This is not something that the average person can not do alone. Remember. we have
Adam's sinful nature. I pray this week's study encourages people to forgive their friends and
family that mistreated them in the past.
Today, I'll discuss a woman who was guilty of adultery. This was a crime that was punishable
by stoning in Bible days.
LIFE LESSON:
JESUS FORGIVES OUR SINS
JOHN 8: 1-11
1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them.3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst,
4 they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?”
6 This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear.
7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.”
8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
