Neither Do I Condemn You, Go and Sin No More!

 And the scribes and pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 

They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

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. 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.

And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they 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. 

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman where are thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, neither do I condemn the: go, and sin no more.

John 8: 3-11.


Now, this was the scenario involving the woman caught in adultery, and the conversation her accusers had with Jesus concerning her condemnation, through the act of stoning to death. But Jesus intercepted their intentions by putting a mirror on their own sinful conditions, and they being convicted of their own sins left her standing with Jesus. 

Perhaps, you are like that woman caught in adultery or you are indulging in sinful actions which continue to put a barrier between you and God, The Father is inviting you to repent and turn away from such acts which can lead you to eternal separation from Him.

He loves you and wants you saved. And just like He didn't condemn the woman, he also does not condemn you. Rather, He wants you saved!

Lord Jesus, I come to you today just as I am and I acknowledge I have sinned and fallen short of your glory. I am sorry for my sins and disobedience to your word and I repent. 

Wash me clean with the blood of Your Son, Jesus which He shed on the Cross of Calvary for my redemption. I ask that You create in me a new heart, and I ask that You come into my heart and live forever in Jesus' Name, I pray Amen.

THE CONCEPT AND TRAGEDY OF SELF 2

 We are no longer self-centered about life; we no longer see the world as revolving around us alone. Rather, we become susceptible and affected deeply by the needs of others. It really doesn't matter if one doesn't have the means to help others or solve their problems as you would have liked. But being concerned, and having the willingness to even go as far as sharing what you have, to meet that other person's needs shows that one is dead to self! A selfish or self centered life is one that really lacks the Agape love of God. You can't say you love God and see your brother hungry and naked, and do nothing about it. The truth is, there are actually some people who are not moved or couldn't care less about the plight of others even in grave circumstances!  Reaching out in understanding and showing empathy not just sympathy, goes a long way in displaying a genuinely unselfish life. Even if you don't have enough financial and material resources to help others in the...

THE CONCEPT AND TRAGEDY OF SELF

 Self is having a strong desire, feeling and concern towards, or for yourself. In other words, it is a high level of engrossment of oneself in terms of well being in every aspect of life. It is a state of totally being engrossed in oneself both internally and externally in a state of self-centeredness and selfishness.  This concept does not embrace the thoughts or activities, or actions which show love, kindness or concern for the next person or neighbor. Rather, it abhors all rational reasoning, and it is alien to the 'selfless' or 'love your neighbour' concept . Self or selfishness is very common in man, and it rules the way he thinks or reasons; the way he talks and what he says; the way he acts which ultimately defines his character. This adeptly describes the unregenerate man or simply put, the unbeliever, who can't walk beyond the concept of self. It is not in his nature to do so. And so, everything he thinks, says or does is self derivative. It must be geared...

The Law of Life in Christ Jesus

 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of flesh sold under sin. For I do not understand my own action; I do not do what I want but I do the very thing I hate. Now, if I do what I do not want I agree with the law that it is good. So now, it is no longer I who do it but sin that dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right but not the ability to carry it out.       For I do not do the good I want but the evil I do not want is what I keep doing. Now, if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who does but the sin that dwells within me. So, I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I  delight in the Law of God  in my inner being. But I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. Oh, wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this bo...
