ALONE WITH JESUS
Today's reading: John 7-9
"When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman." John 8:9 NLT
I've been dragged out in public by my accusers.
My sins have shone on me like a spot light.
I've had fingers pointed in my face.
I've hung my head low as my list of sins have been read aloud.
I've watched as folks picked up stones.
I've also been left alone with Jesus at the end of the day.
It's not that He didn't know. It's not that I wasn't guilty. It's not that what I did was an easy thing to overlook. It's not that I wasn't embarrassed and disgusted by what I'd done.
It's just that with Him, forgiveness flows freely, grace covers completely and rocks drop quietly to the ground as my accusers slip away.
