Read John 8
This week we finish our look at the topic of homosexuality. As we have seen over the past month the Bible clearly addresses this issue. We have looked at the fact the homosexuality is sin and that sin is condemned by God just as all sin is condemned by God. We have looked at the fact that God can change the darkest of heart because of His mighty power displayed through the cross. That no one is beyond saving and that those who struggle with the sin of homosexuality can be forgiven and set free. This week we are going to see an example from Jesus life and ministry of how we should treat someone who struggles with such sin. Now in this story Jesus does not address directly homosexuality, but He does address immorality. Homosexuality is immorality just as adultery, fornication, lust are all immorality. In this story a woman is caught in adultery. She is brought before Jesus. The people were ready to stone her. Each one that came had stones in hand and we’re ready to put her to death. Honestly that is what the law of God commanded in the Old Testament. It’s amazing to me how similar they are to us today. So often we are so quick to condemn somebody caught in sin whether its homosexuality, abortion, adultery, or whatever. Before we point fingers at others we better look at our own lives.
Father help us to be careful about pointing fingers at others when we have sin in our own lives.
