Encountering Jesus in Our Judgements

Published: July 10, 2022, 10 a.m.

We live in a very judgmental world that is quick to castigate and slow to elevate. But we in the church can be extremely judgmental too and often are far more judgmental than anyone we meet on the street. Now, we know what God\u2019s Word says about sin\u2026sin in general and sin in specific too. The character that meets Jesus in John eight was in fact guilty as charged\u2026she was an adulterous. But the point Jesus makes in this text is if we are judgmental, we better take a hard look at our own lives because when we do, our finger of judgment will be pointing right back at us! Jesus meets the women in this judgmental situation. Once again however, Jesus doesn\u2019t leave her in that sin and judgment but speaks forgiveness and along with that word of forgiveness also says \u201c\u2026go and sin no more.\u201d Thank you Jesus! Jesus forgives sin! Jesus empowers sinners!
