She was forgiven

Hi.. I wanna ask you a question...Do you have a friend who did something very wrong to you such as betray you? So do you forgive the person? Here is a story that I would like to share with you.


She was forgiven

When you’re sorry for your mistakes, there is always one person who will accept you. The woman in this story discovered who that was. Everyone else went home, but Jesus walked out to the Mount of Olives. Then early the next morning, He went to the temple. The people came to him, and he sat down and started teaching them.

The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses brought in a woman who had been caught in bed with a man who wasn’t her husband. They made her stand in the middle of the crowd. Then they said, “Teacher, this woman was caught sleeping with a man isn’t her husband. The Law of Moses teaches that a woman like this should be stoned to death! What do you say?”

They asked Jesus this question because they wanted to test Him and bring some charge against Him. But Jesus simply bent over and started writing on the ground with his finger.

They kept on asking Jesus about this woman. Finally, he stood up and said, “If any of you have never sinned, then go ahead and throw the first stone at her!” Once again, He bent over and began writing on the ground. The people left one by one, beginning with the oldest. Finally, Jesus and the woman were there alone.

Jesus stood up and asked her, “Where is everyone? Isn’t there anyone left to accuse you?”

“No sir,” the woman answered.

Then Jesus told her, “I am not going to accuse you either. You may go now, but don’t sin anymore.” [John 14:16-17]
