December 5 - Daily Message - John 8:9

I believe this is a message to us from God, written from His perspective – Sherri 

​John 8:9 NLT “When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman.”
 
The woman was in a powerless position and fully believed she was about to be stoned to death – surrounded by accusations, threats, and judgement. She was terrified and actively regretting many decisions she had made that led up to this moment. Her life was replaying before her eyes and she saw many different things like her father not standing up for her to guard her innocence, and her mother, also not valued, telling her that when a man showed interest in her it was something to place her value on.
 
Then she looked at Jesus.
 
And saw a man who truly cared about her. He took the place of her father and mother in that moment. He defended her, reversed the consequences of her poor decisions, showed her that her value was significant to Him even though she had nothing to offer Him. He didn’t want anything from her…He wanted her to see herself through His eyes and with His compassion. He wanted her identity for the rest of her life to be that Jesus loved her so much that He defended her before the men who had the authority to kill her for her actions. He wanted her identity for the rest of her life to be solidly centered upon Him.
 
He erased her sin, judgement, and condemnation in that moment.
 
Undid all of the damage done by her parents who were also broken people doing what they knew to do. And in that moment “only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd”. He was all that mattered in that moment, and He handed life back to her. She was healed from the past…all of it washed away, and so, as the One with the power to accuse her, He says:
 
John 8:11 NLT “Go and sin no more.”
 
Prior to that moment she could not have obeyed My command not to sin. She was too broken and hurt by the beliefs given to her by other people. But when Jesus healed these beliefs in that powerful moment and restored her life…she was able to see her value in a new light and could experience the abundant life Jesus promised (John 10:10).
