Are you guilty?
John 8:1-11
"Jesus went unto the mount
of Olives. 2And early in the morning
he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat
down, and taught them. 3And
the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when
they had set her in the midst, 4They
say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5Now Moses in the law
commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6This they said, tempting
him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7So when they continued
asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin
among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8And
again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9And
they which heard it, being
convicted by their own
conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was
left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but
the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man
condemned thee? 11She said, No man, Lord.
And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."
**Everyone is quick
to accuse others for their wrong doings, but when the finger is pointed right
back to themselves they shake in fear of knowing they are wrong as well, if not
worse than those they accused. Many times people make excuses of what wrongs
were done, and at times blame it on others. We have to make sure we are in line
ourselves, before we look onto others' mistakes. Once we are on the Lord's
straight path in obedience to His word then we can help direct others in His
righteous path also. **
Matthew 7:3-5
"And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy
brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4Or how wilt thou say to
thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5Thou hypocrite, first cast
out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out
the mote out of thy brother's eye."
Luke 6:37
"Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn
not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:"
** We must remember
that before you point your finger at others, not only to make sure you are in
line and your slate is clean. But also remember that Jesus had forgiven you for
your wrongs. The lord has no respect a person. Every has a chance and
opportunity to receive salvation. Keep with the Word, live it and you will make
it in. But if you reject the truth, and disobey the Lord, then you will not
make it in heaven. **
