An Unpleasant Truth

1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.

3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group

4 and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.

5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?"

6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.

7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."

8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.

10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"

11 "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."

John 8:1-11

Who are we, as mere mortals, to judge who/what is right or wrong, when Jesus has already forgiven?

"Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death."
Romans 8:1-2

A little, goes a long way...

Hello. It has been awhile since I last blogged. Due to the fact that dear Miss Yvonne Chia, after reading my previous post, told me that she didn't know that I would post about such "deep stuff". So it leaves me partly wanting to post closer-to-heart posts and at the same time, leaving me pondering whether I have been such a SHALLOW person(to her). HA HA. Anyway, here is another one, but considerably shorter.

Was reflecting a bit at this hour of 1.40am on stuff that is happening now everywhere, to me and to others. I sort of feel glad to see how some of my acquaintances have gotten on in their lives, as they move on the different paths they took. Their successes, their progress, and just how full they seem to be living their lives. =)

I am starting to feel a new drive(maybe just a slight nudging for now) for the area of church ministries, esp the youth. Have recently been asked to helped with certain aspects of a couple of events, and as I went ahead with the "assignments", I feel this sense of fulfilment that I do all these because of a greater reason, not just an auxillary role. Had dinner with James and Michelle earlier on, and had a good chat and catching up and FOOD. Talked a bit about cell groups and voiced a few of my concerns and such, and found a few answers as well. Maybe it is time to settle down in one?

That should be all for tonight, thanks to dear Mr Mun Loon, helping me lose two trains in 2mins. Don't worry, there have been no reported suicide bombings, and fatalities.

Cheers,
Ken
