| Lesson 24: The Law Of The Old That Is Covered In the New Testament: Go And Sin No More 2/15/2014 by turtle John 8:1-11 KJV (1) Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. (2) And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. (3) And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, (4) They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. (5) Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? (6) This 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. (7) So 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. (8) And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. (9) And 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. (10) When 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? (11) She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. How precious are the words to go and sin no more. By Old Testament Law the woman and man caught in adultery was to be stoned. Yet the judicial law of Roman rule probably did not enforce this law. After all sexual immorality raged among the heathen rulers that ruled over Israel. To anyone not a Jew some of the Jewish laws would seem over bearing. Abraham had not lived by these laws or many of the leaders after. However this was God law not commit adultery. Man as broken God’s law from the beginning. It not that God’s law is not good, it has to do with man inability to obey God, because they were not perfectly made and were given choice to obey and disobey. What then do we decide, who is stoned and who is not based on what? The point is the law was to point out the sin, and prove all was worthy of death since Adam, because not one of us could obey the law of God. The Priest who came to Jesus to try to trap him, began to back away because Jesus wanted to know of their perfect state that gave them the right to kill this woman. They began to realize they to had sinned. Each walked away, never saying anything more about the woman caught in adultery. Jesus stood and looked at the woman go and sin no more. Telling the woman to go and live in the ways of God and not the ways of sinful man. To turn away from sin. It be up to her to make that choice. Just like it is for all of us that repent of our sins. We turn away only to find something new we do that pleases not God. To live only to please ourselves is sin, to please God is to fall into obedience head first and not look back. To swim forward in life toward the truth and will of God for our life. No one lives perfectly unto God, and that is why God’s redemption plan is necessary through Jesus who accuses us not, but tells us to go and sin no more. Once you know something is sin then do not do it again. Yet we all slip back into sin, not meaning too or willfully doing so, knowing God our Father is not pleased. Yet God requires one thing when we recognize our sin to repent or turn away from doing it. Hopefully before the temptation causes us to slip and fall. God warned Cain but Cain did not even repent. God desire us to repent to feel sorry for our sin. For those tears to fall so to speak, whether it leads to physical tears it needs to lead to tears of the heart. Tears that wrench the heart. God gives each believer the power of the Holy Spirit to enable us to over come sin. Yet we have to be willing to listen to God’s Spirit and obey, not listening to our flesh and demons that try and steal the will of God and blessings that come from God to us. Dear Heavenly Father help us to feel those tears of guilt of sin, to enable us to turn from our wickedness. Enables us to turn, and to live a life pleasing to you, through the power of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus precious name, Amen. http://www.turtle30cshell.com _ |
