Reflection question: In John 8:1-11, Jesus makes some important points about sin/judgment/forgiveness/and acceptance. What is the lesson you take away today?
What struck me as I read this chapter is how many times he says, "I tell you the truth." and other times speaks of truth. I think what Jesus is saying to us is that God is the one who will judge and we have no reason to judge others. We need to forgive others and ourselves. Sometimes we have the hardest time forgiving ourselves. But we always know that we are forgiven if we repent.
The lesson I learned is that you had better make sure your house is clean before trying to clean someone else's.
