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.
