A wonderful story found in John 8 perfectly illustrates this picture. The religious leaders caught a woman in adultery, and they brought her before Jesus to receive the death decree. With self-righteous indignation, they stood pointing accusing fingers, ready and eager to snuff out her life under a hail of stones.
They pressed their question, “What do you say?” But He ignored them. Instead, He stooped down and began to sketch in the dust on the temple floor as though they were not there. Then He stood up and said to the woman who was caught in adultery those immortalized words: “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”
And then Jesus knelt down again and waited. Ashamed and bewildered, the leaders pondered their next move.
Then the accusers began crawling away one by one. “And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest even unto to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst” (John 8:9).
Her accusers were gone; they fell, but she was face to face with Jesus—STANDING!
Will You be left Standing?
Happy and Joyful Sabbath as We are filled with this Hope that Burns within Our Heart!
We are United in Christ!
Jesus is Coming Very Soon!
PRAISE THE LORD!💖
