All Caught Up
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 8:10–11 (CEV)
You got caught! Stolen test answers in hand. That mean trick hurt someone more than you meant. The hateful words busted out, showing your heart.
The shame sets in and other kids might even scream at you. Kids might call you mean. They might make fun of you in class or on social media.
But then Jesus comes.
In this today’s Bible passage, a woman was caught doing wrong, and those who accused her were ready to kill her by throwing rocks at her. They pushed her to Jesus, expecting him to throw the first stone. Instead, he said that only the perfect people could start throwing stones. Suddenly, everyone who was pointing fingers at the woman left. They all realized they were not perfect either!
No one is perfect. Only Jesus. When we do wrong things—sin—we deserve death. But Jesus took that punishment for us when he died on the cross. Jesus can forgive us because he paid the price.
But he doesn’t just leave us there. He sends us back with orders to not sin anymore. We shouldn’t keep sinning and asking forgiveness in a bad cycle. We need to be sorry enough to want to stop.
Jesus is involved every step of the way. He forgives. He releases us from our guilt. And he helps us quit sinning. You can go from caught in sin to all caught up in God’s grace and love!
