17_0319: Jesus commends those condemned in sin with crimson kindness to believe for eternal life. Jesus is confronted by the Pharisees with a woman they’ve caught in the act of adultery. Jesus silences the voices of her accusers and removes their imminent condemnation by telling them the one without sin can throw the first stone. One by one they all walk away leaving only the woman and Jesus. He tells the woman that if no one else condemns her, he will not condemn her either and to go and sin no more. This passage presents the situation every person wants to know at one point or another; “how does God respond to those who are guilty in sin?” Jesus shows that God responds to sinners with divine patience and kindness, not wanting any to perish but all to come to eternal life. God is merciful to sinners that they might believe in Jesus for life. But one should not confuse mercy with a full pardon. God shows mercy that we might repent and turn to Christ to receive a full pardon, God’s forgiveness and cleansing from sin. We pray this message helps and encourages you with hope in Jesus.
Saved by Crimson Kindness John 8:1-11
