Put down your Stones

Introduction

I believe that one of the most precious and refreshing things that we as believers have is a God that has an unconditional love.

Aren’t you glad this morning that we don’t serve a God of a second chance but we’ve serve the God of another Chance; Thats what the lamentations proclaim when it says “IT IS OF THE LORD’S MERCIES THAT WE ARE NOT CONSUMED, BECAUSE HIS COMPASSIONS FAIL NOT. THEY ARE NEW EVERY MORNING: GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS”;

And thats a shout right there that we don’t have to borrow from yesterdays mercies but today comes with brand new mercies that we have never seen.

I have to tell you that I am often surprised at how we as the people of God have become so judgmental. WE like to put up a facade that we have never done anything or anybody wrong. we paint a false picture, a superficial or artificial appearance that we have been saved all of our lives, we’ve never spoking a bad word, we’ve never went anywhere that we shouldn’t have been, but that we have been SAVED, SANCTIFIED, FREE FROM SIN AND GOING TO HEAVEN ANY HOW ALL OF OUR LIVES!!!.. ;

But the BIBLE I read which contain the 66 books of God’s Holy and Sacred writ tells me “THAT ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD”, somebody missed that scriptures , here’s another THERE IS NOR RIGHTEOUS NO NOT ONE, SOME BODY STILL AIN’T FEELING ME “ BUT WE ARE ALL AS AN UNCLEAN THING AND ALL OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS ARE AS FILTHY RAGS AND WE DO FADE AS A LEAF AND OUR INIQUITIES LIKE THE WIND HAVE TAKEN US AWAY,

How dare we look down on some one else because that can’t quote scripture like you

How dare we look down and judge a brother or a sister because that don’t look like what you think they should

How dare we cast judgment on a sister or a brother because they are over taken in Sin

THE BIBLE SAYS IF A MAN OR WOMAN BE OVERTAKEN IN TREPASSES, FAULT, SIN WE WHO ARE SPIRITUAL SHOULD RESTORE THEM IN A SPIRT OF MEEKNESS CONIDERING YOURSELF, LEST THOU BE ALSO TEMPTED!!!!;

THATS WHY WE CAN’T GET FOLKS TO CHURCH, THATS WE CAN KEEP FOLKS IN THE CHURCH BECAUSE WE HAVE FORGOTTEN IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR THE LORD ON OUR SIDE WHERE WOULD WE BE!!!! TELL SOMEBODY PUT YOUR STONES DOWN...

TEXT

Jesus is in the temple and all of the people came and Jesus sat down and begin to teach. And here come the Scribes and the Pharisees.

THE SCRIBES

THEY ARE TRAINED IN SKILLFUL WRITING AND WERE USED TO RECORD EVENTS AND DECISIONS. DURIND THE EXILE IN BABYLON, EDUCATED SCRIBES APPARENTLY BEACME THE EXPERTS IN GOD’S WRITTEN WORD, COPYING, PRESERVING, AND TEACHING IT. TGHEY INTERPRETED THE LAW, TAUGHT IT TO DISCIPLES AND WERE EXPERTS IN CASES WHERE PEOPLE WERE ACCUSED OF BRAKING THE LAW OF MOSES.

THE PHARISEES

LARGEST AND MOST INFLUENTIAL RELIGIOUS-POLITICAL PARTY DURING THE NEW TESTAMENT TIMES.

1.HER PROBLEM

They interrupt JESUS in the Temple, Teach to bringing a women caught in Adultery. Here’s my problem with these scribes and pharisees!!

Iv’e always been taught that it takes 2 to tango, where is the brother she was laying with!!! Did he get away, did they let him go, an as a matter of fact how was it that they happen to be at the place where the woman and man was getting down!!!

2. THEIR PLAN

THE Bible says they set her in the midst of JESUS and begin to tell him the has been caught in the very act. And it gets even funny, remember JESUS is teach and they began to tell JESUS about what moses law says as if JESUS is not astute in Jewish or levitical law.;

They try JESUS by asking him what then do you say we do with her because by the law , we are to stone her to death.

3. JESUS PROVISION

Here we have a group of so call law abiding religious leaders vs. by essence of Grace. A lot of should behind bars because of the law but because of the grace of God he made provision on our behalf.

THE BIBLE SAYS JESUS STOOPS IN THE GROUND AND WITH HIS FINGER HE BEGANS TO WRITE, WHILE WRITING THEY ARE STILL QUESTIONING JESUS OF REGARDING HER PUNISHMENT. NOW JESUS STANDS UP!!!

AREN’T YOU GLAD JESUS STOOD OF FOR YOU!!!

HE STANDS UP AND SAYS UNTO THEM, “HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN CAST THE FIRST STONE” AND HE STOOPS BACK DOWN AND AGAIN TAKES HIS FINGER AND CONTINUES TO WRITE!!!

THE BIBLE DOSENT TELL US WHAT HE WROTE, BUT CAN I USE HOLY GHOST IMAGINATION, ETC.....
