SPIRITUALITY Freedom brought in Christ by Donnetta Austin In John chapter eight of the bible, a woman who has been caught in the act of adultery is brought to our attention. During this time Jesus is at the temple in the Mount of Olives teaching and surrounded by a group of people. Many of the Pharisees believed that under the law this woman should be stoned. The Pharisees tested Jesus asking him how he felt. Jesus humbled himself, In John chapter eight verse seven he responded saying, “He who is without sin among you. Let him throw a stone at her first”. It was as though Jesus was bringing it to their attention that you have all sinned. He thought to himself go ahead I will wait. They were all convicted and began to walk away. The divine favor of God was with this woman. Jesus forgave her and asked her to go and sin no more. July 2019 The URBAN EXPERIENCE 17 John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again; saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows ME shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life”. We are able to find freedom in Christ when we begin to say no to our sins. Obedience is always the best way of living a liberating lifestyle. God will continue to reveal himself to you.
