('Happy are they, they that love God')
John 8 v.1-11 part
*********
John's Gospel Series (8)
Woman was in adultery
Caught, brought to Jesus, see
And seeking to trap Him to say
She must be done away
Must needs be stoned, that Moses' law
They said to Jesus sure
But His love, compassion, concern
Did cause Him then to turn
To turn to them, to say, 'He who
Has no sin, cast stone new
He be the first to her condemn'
But things they did change then
For convicted by their conscience
They left and went from thence
Jesus and woman left alone
Here sense His gracious tone
For they had left, her accusers
Forgiveness He confers
On her, says He condemns not, for
She to go, [and] sin no more

These stories from the bible made such sense when we were kids. Taught us another way of perceiving the world and its problems.
Thanks dusk. They make sense now too?
Forgiveness is always the way forward.
Thanks Gold.
