John 8:1-11

wuli turtle has just updated his cyword and he got a passage from the book of John 8:1-11

1. But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2. At dawn, he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him , and he sat down to teach them.
3. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group
4. and said to Jesus, " Teacher, this woman is caught in the act of adultery.
5. In the Law of Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?"
6. They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.
7. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, ' If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
8. Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9. At this, thouse who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, untill only Jesus leaft, with the woman still standing there.
10. Jesus straightened up and asked her, " woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
11. " No one, sir," she said.
" Then neither do i condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."


and here's the verse that he highlighted

7: if any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her

but if i were to highlight this chapter, the verse that i would like to hightlight would be

11: Go now and leave your life of sin

isnt it amazing, same scripture but it touches each and 1 of us in a different way according to the situation, time, place, setting etc that we are in?

verse 7 has let him understood something that only he himself will know whats the meaning behind this verse which has really answered the current situation he is in or the problem he is facing right now and how has it helped him in understanding God's words.

but then, when i re-read this chapter, especially this morning,
i find that verse 11 touches me the most
why?

Go now and leave your life of sin. This is what Jesus said to the woman who has commited adultery and whom should be stoned to death according to the Law of Moses.

Her sin is forgiven when Jesus said that to her. BUT i just realised there is another meaning in this verse!!
LEAVE YOUR LIFE OF SIN.
did you get it??

well at least for me, i've never realised how important these words are not untill today when i read it again(kind of having blind spot when i read this chap some times ago). I dont know how to put my understanding of this verse in words but i hope you did grasp the meaning of this verse or even this whole chapter according to your own understanding and i am sure, Holy spirit ll touch your heart in a way that suits you through this chapter according to you need. God knows best what you need to understand Him when you read this chapter! =)

God bless!!!

ps: is a good thing to see finally wuli turtle has updated his cyworld with a post which is related to christianity =) when was that when he posted sth related to christianity? a year ago if i m not wrong. anyway hope he ll share more gospel through his cyworld and since wuli turtle is kind of free now as he is off from his works for a week*jealous*, i think he should update his cyworld more often!!! anyway, may God continue to bless him, guide him and provide him the needs that he need in His way! =)

Lord, this is what my heart says

May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O LORD, my Rock and my redeemer!
AMEN!
