Go and Sin No More
A lot of time when I’ve heard ‘Go and sin no more,’ it feels like an insurmountable challenge. Like not sinning anymore is as simple as well…just not sinning anymore. But in this passage we get to see a different side of Christ’s command, his compassion for us in telling us to leave our sins behind. It’s not as much a distant God demanding perfection as it is a close friend who hates seeing us suffer at our own hand. Behind every command is a heart full of love.
When you read one of Jesus’ commands for us, what’s your gut reaction? Is it positive or negative?
What do you think in your life brought you to have that reaction?
