The woman caught in adultery 3

The first 2 times it is a time of judgement .

The third time is is the writing of the Law .

The fourth also of a measure of judgement against the devils .

There is much talked about the grace of God but has often been a disgrace.

The Law has NOT been done away with . It's purpose is to convict of sin .Romans .

Not to justify or make perfect .Romans .

It is fulfilled IN Christ and those true born children of God " uphold the law" .

But are not justified by it .

The woman WAS guilty under the law as all men and women who commit it are then as now .

But the law states that both the man and the woman should be stoned to death .

So where then was the man?

For the record states she was " found in the act" therefore the man was there also .

I would suggest he was not there because her accusers were all men and it is far easier for a man to accuse a woman than it is fir a man to judge and accuse a man .

So let us be in no doubt she was guilty under the law . Are we not all guilty under the law ? If not this particular one .

So what was the Lord doing?

He was giving both parties TIME . To consider why they were there and what had brought them there .

He gave also everybody else time who was there timecalso to consider the matter .

He gives us time also .

You could argue for the completeness of the argument and for an example that He gave Himself time to consider why He was there and What had brought him there .

But in truth He was always conscious of why He was there and what has brought Him there .

In a UK court of law if found guilty these words are spoken to the convicted ." Before I pass sentence have you anything to say "

You are given a measure of time . We all are given a measure of time . Be it long or short to ' say something'.

Wether people believe in God or not . People are always speaking to God . He hears it all .

God is speaking to all men ,but how many are listening?
