Dr. Phil Wilkes, John 8:1-11
Too many times people are paralyzed by their past. But our past does not have to rob us of what God can do for us now and in the future. In John 8 a woman caught in the act of adultery is brought to Jesus. Her sinful past was now haunting her. When she encounters Jesus he does for her the unexpected. He forgives her and sets her free from her past. His forgiveness enables her to move forward with a new life. He tells her “go and sin no more.” What a gift. Christ can set you free from whatever is in your past. Regardless of how you may have failed or sinned, Christ is ready to forgive you and give you a new beginning. Turn to Christ and you will discover the same fresh start that this woman was given by Christ.
