HIS FORGIVING LOVE

“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 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.  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?  She said, No man, Lord.  And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”

John 8:7-11 KJV

When Jesus was here on His mission, He was tempted just like we are but He never sinned.  He remained faithful to His Father.  O that you and I would follow the example Jesus set for us and not sin.  As soon as we are tempted to do something wrong, we need to immediately ask Jesus to help us.

If someone asks you “Who is Jesus”, tell them that He is the Son of God and the Saviour of the world.  Not only does Jesus give us love, He is love.  There are times we hurt Him and break His heart but because of His forgiving love, He forgives us every time.  His love for us doesn’t depend on what we do or don’t do.

When we hurt Jesus He doesn’t condemn us.  Jesus says to us what he said to the woman “Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more”.  People sometimes hurt us but instead of saying hateful words to them and hurting them by our actions, we need to tell them we forgive them and pray for them.

Thank You, Jesus, for Your forgiving love.  I love You so much.  I long to see You face to face.  Thank You for dying for my sins.
