--"He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea." --[Micah 7:19] --
--Pleaser read. // John 8:1-12 and Romans 8:1-6]
--JESUS offers to be Captain of our ship on the journey of life. He has a genuine interest in our well-being and safety. If our voyage is beset by fog we can trust our Captain's clear vision. We get the picture in today's key verse that Jesus would like to throw our sins and iniquities overboard into the depths of the sea.
The adulterous woman in John 8 wisely acknowledged her sins. These were the very sins that had loaded her life with guilt. She realized that Captain Jesus will not overlook or condone sin, so she allowed Jesus to take care of them. Now this woman could be completely free from condemnation! This heavy load of guilt could be removed.
She understood that she deserved to have stones hurled at her. After her encounter with Jesus, do you think that she felt tike she needed to throw stones up in the air and hope that they would strike her? No! She simply accepted the cleansing and forgiveness provided for her. With a change of heart and through confession and repentance, we too must allow Captain Jesus to take our sins and send them down to the bottom of the sea!
--"As far as the east if from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us." --[Psalm 103:12] --BSW/JK~
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
