My brothers and my sisters I want to reflect with
you on the above text. But first let's look at some things. What do we do when
someone errs? Well we already have a misconception of sin. We found that some
kinds of sins are worse than others. And are not. Sin is sin, whatever the
type. Unfortunately, I don't think so. But that's the way it is. See the text
at line. Jesus receives the call "sinful woman" Really sent that such
law were stoned. But those men were not interested in the law and to put Jesus
in difficulties. So much so that the same punishment reserved for such women
had also been reserved for men. But they were not sexist took that into
consideration and only talked about women. But Jesus did not discuss these
merits with them, because He knew that one would pass the test. All were sinners.
So don't say anything and he start writing with his finger on the ground. Then
gets up and says: the one among you who is without sin be the first to shoot
stone against her. Saying that returned to writing on the ground. He got up again and were now only
he and woman. Then Jesus asked: where
are those accusers of yours? No one condemned you? The woman replied no one
Lord. Jesus says even I too condemn you. Go and Sin no more.
It's still like that. We are full of sin and we
judge others and those we condemn. We give up the sentence in many cases. The
point is that when it comes to ourselves we are generous. Though we are strict
when it comes to the other. However we must remember that God doesn't think or
act like us even in the face of a sinner. To Jesus what comes first is the
repentance and a contrite heart. He neither discusses the sins. Simply forgive.
Not so in the story of the prodigal son? The prodigal starts making the speech that
it had rehearsed and father sends her dress and put the ring on your finger
re-attached Alliance.
I'm not with that condoning sin. But I'm saying
that the love of God to the sinner is much larger than their sins. The Bible
says "I will forgive your inequities and of them no longer remember says
the Lord". The one who died on the cross beside Jesus, Dimas soon that
says: "Lord, remember me when you come into your paradise" Jesus
tells him: "today you will be with me in Paradise". And that's what
happened. The two left that day. See Jesus did not discuss the early life of
Dimas. Just saw your heart repented and forgiven immediately. Friends and dear
there will be a day when Jesus will judge, but today He is our Attorney and
pleads with claw our cause before the father.
Meet Jesus for me is to have full knowledge of that
love and live it, practice it. In fact, the master says that the great
commandment is this: Love. Love God above all and our neighbor as ourselves.
My beloved how often we let our eclesiologismo and
the structures of our churches they suffocate to the love of God in our hearts.
Especially us who headed the Church since the Local church until the Regional
and General how many confronts a situation where love should see a law we
invented. This law speaks louder than the love of Christ in our hearts. What a
pity! We talk so much, but our speech gets to sound fake in front of our Act.
Brothers and sisters let us mirror in Christ. When
he had to make a choice between a legal item and the person always stayed with
the person and their need. And we? He did and does so because he loves people
and not institutions. The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath.
The great love of Christ who forgives always welcomes fills our hearts and
minds. Amen.
