The message in church today was about the woman caught in adultery (John 8). It got me to thinking just how gracious our God is. The Law of Moses demanded the death of this woman, but Jesus did not condemn her.
Its amazing how patient our God is. He allows us chance after chance after chance to do the right thing, knowing that we will fail time and again. Yet His justice must be satisfied. The woman who had comited adultery needed to pay for her sin, yet she could never satisfy the demand over an eternity. So Jesus paid for her sin himself.
He hung on a cross, naked, beaten and deserted. Even His own Father left Him. Then, He died. In that instant her sin was truly paid for.
As was mine.
