GOD'S Grace: His Power of Healing







John 8:1-11
Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd.
“Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”
They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust.
When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. 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.” —————







Somebody once told me in a deep conversation that we were having one evening, her concern was If God was punishing her for the affair she was having with a friend that was married? Her and her male friend who was married, they been dating for a time and she wanted to get married herself and have more children. She was in deep emotion when she asked me why is God punishing me and what do you think of me for living a life like I do she said.




I gave an answer quoting John 8: 1-11 where a woman who was caught in adultery was brought before Jesus. I told her first, That I myself is without sin, and therefore I don't judge you for what you do in your personal life. Second, I told her as long as you are repentant and Truly Sorry for the Life you live, God Will Forgive You, if you ask. (Matthew 7:7-8):


"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."



I concluded the conversation that she should focus on her own goals in LIFE, discontinue the relationship, but KEEP him as a Friend only. Somethings are never ment to be, especially if your crossing the extreams on another relationship--- A Marriage. Marriages as we all know is a union between man and woman through God. (Matthew 19:4-6)


"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.

Brother In Christ
