Father Christ Jesus Cannot Be Trapped

In the passage before John 8:1-11 Father Christ Jesus frustrated the Jewish leaders attempts to entrap Him But they turned with another test: A woman caught in the act of adultery They pretended in asking Father Christ Jesus for His judgment If Father Christ Jesus declared that she should be put to death He would violate the Roman law forbidding the Jews to administer capital Punishment If He freed her He would violate Jewish law As is often the case when we try to pin Eternal God down He did something a few would have been able to predict Instead of answering in a man’s terms He answered in Eternal God’s Father Christ Jesus encouraged the accusers to judge themselves Before judging her and they left in shame How many times do we see the faults of others while missing Ignoring our own Jesus knew our nature Created the Sacrament of Reconciliation to help What a great opportunity to remember Eternal God’s infinite mercy Forgiving heart.
