A wrong decision was made.
The impact of the decision worsened
when it was covered up.
Eventually the truth came out.
Life became messy.
Trust was lost.
Words and actions were questioned.
As time went on . . .
trust was restored.
Life became better . . .
until the wrong decision was made . . . again.
A woman stood in the middle of the court, condemned for her wrong decisions. The presence and the words of Jesus turned attention to their own sins:
The religious rulers walked away from the woman they accused of making wrong decisions.
When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court.
Straightening up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you, either Go From now on sin no more."
(John 8:9-11, NASB)
Christ freed the woman condemned to death. She did not deserve it . . . but she received new life.
The nameless woman was given the opportunity to live . . . it was her decision to start over . . . to live a different life through Christ . . . a decision that has been given to all of humanity.
Make the decision to live life through Christ.
Celebrate freedom from living condemned to death . . . through the power, presence, and peace of Christ.
Learning with you to decide to live life through Christ,
Kerrie
