TEXT: JOHN 7:37-39; 8:32,36; 9:10-11 John 7:37-39
It is not so, when you come to Jesus, a new life is just beginning for you. Grace will come to you tonight.
Jesus said any of the accusers who had never sinned should take a stone and cast it at her. With this, Jesus caught them. He will catch your accusers and not agree with them. One by one, the people went away. All your accusers will go away and no longer oppress or threaten you. Jesus is the freedom giver who will forgive your sins and set you free. The greatest mistake the woman would have made was to leave Jesus and go with her accusers. They would have destroyed her.
vs 11. So, Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more”. The woman breathed a breath of relief. She was expecting condemnation and being stoned but Jesus, the most holy and pure would not stone her. He would not drive you to hell fire. Forgiveness is certain for you. He came to the world to save, not to destroy you. The better and righteous life you desire will come to pass in Jesus name.
“Go and sin more”, no man has ever said this to anyone. In the old Testament, the priests would tell the people to come back again for atonement, and they make sacrifices for it every year. They had no power to deliver anyone from sin. Now with Jesus, our condemnation and death sentence are canceled. You will not die in sin, new life has come to you from heaven.
vs 12 “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” The woman will no longer walk in the darkness of immorality, iniquity, evil and transgressions because Jesus, the light of the world has shone the light of salvation upon her. We shall all have the light of life.
vs 30. As Jesus spoke, many believed on Him.
vs 31. He said if anyone continues in His word, he is His disciple indeed. Jesus pardoned the woman but she must not go back to sin, but to continue in His word.
vs 32. He said we shall know the truth, and the truth shall set us free. Every truth you hear about Jesus will make you free and free indeed.
- THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, GIVING SIGHT AND INSIGHT THROUGH THE TRANSFORMING TRUTH (John 9:4,5,7-11,18-22,24-38)
John 9:4 “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” The question is what is the work of Him who sent Jesus? He came to seek and save all who are lost in the jungle of sin and confusion. What is the work of Jesus? Your salvation. Christ must save you because that was why He came, and you will have it, not because you know how to cry or roll on the ground, but because your salvation is a must. Whosoever comes to Him, He will not cast out.
What work? The work of healing. He came to restore your body to a normal and healthy position. That was why when he came across a man who has been sick for 38 years, He could not pass on and ignore him. He saw the work He must do there. The works of Christ He must do is to take crutches out of your hands and you rise and walk. Are you blind? He will open your eyes because no medical help has worked. Healing for all incurable diseases tonight.
There are other works of the devil scattered everywhere – depression, oppression by the power of demons, etc. All who are under yokes will go home free today. On the man who was born blind the disciples asked whether he or his parents sinned to make him be in that condition. Jesus said No, but that it was for the glory of God to be manifested. Jesus wants to do something in your life that will bring forth His glory.
So, the man came to Jesus and He made clay, apply to his face, and told him to go and wash in the pool of Siloam. He wanted to test his obedience, He could have said, “blind eyes, open!” The man did not argue with Jesus. That would be like a patient arguing with the doctor on which medications to prescribe for him. If he knew how to get well by himself, why did he go to the doctor? The man went, washed and the congenital blindness cleared away immediately. That infirmity you were born with will clear off in Jesus name.
When the man came back, he was asked how he got his sight, and he told them what the Lord did for him. Until today, He is still saying “I must work”, and will do all necessary works on you. He must do as He said.
Heads bowed and eyes closed. Here is your time to have pardon and forgiveness. Talk to the Lord in prayer.
