Guilty As Charged Try Jesus

There was a woman caught in an adulterous act.
Her accusers came after her with all of the “facts…”
 
She came to Jesus. .. With a heart-felt plea.
“Master….”  “Have mercy on someone like me!”
 
Jesus looked at her as she wept and cried.
So many other things she had already tried.
 
Coming to Jesus… She felt scared and alone…
Jesus told her accusers; “You without sin.” 
 “Throw the first stone.”

One by one… They dropped  
 the stones and fled.
Rather than face the truth… 
 They ran away instead…
 
Jesus told the woman; “Your forgiven.” 
 “Go and sin no more…”
She was the meaning of what 
God’s grace was meant for.
 
If you’re caught in a situation,  
 with  " no way out… " 
This is what the meaning
 of salvation is all about!

Any “accusers” you may have,
will quickly run and hide...
When to Jesus you come…  
And have him “on your side…”

Allow the master to cleanse  
 your life this very hour…
And experience the love of his 
  life-changing power!

He’ll take you in with his arms wide open.
“You’re forgiven!”  Will be the lovely words spoken!
 
Be surrounded by the savior's
redeeming grace…
He’ll give you hope and put a smile
 on your face!

Truthful write, we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory, but for the grace of God. Excellent message.
