\"\"One thing we are discovering in our study through the book of John is, Jesus had a message.\u00a0 He was a man on a mission.\u00a0<\/strong> He didn’t avoid controversy and he constantly made the religious elite mad; not just mad, but angry.\u00a0 He confronted them on every side about the truth of who He was, and what the implications of that truth would mean to them and their future.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Jesus heals, he does it publicly, on the Sabbath, at major festivals, outside the temple courts.\u00a0 He preaches and teaches that He and His Father are One<\/strong>, that if they knew God they would know Him.\u00a0 In our study today, a group of religious professionals got together to try to trap Jesus by bringing a woman caught in adultery.\u00a0 If He lets her go, He’s condemned.\u00a0 If He condemns her then He’s taken the authority of the Jewish Sanhedrin – accused either way.\u00a0 Yet the Master Teacher had a masterful response to those who tried to trap Him.\u00a0 Read it and you’ll understand that Jesus constantly made people mad by telling them the truth<\/strong>; the truth about who He was and how life would change now that the Messiah has come; the truth about why He came, but most of all the truth about themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

Notice what Jesus said to the woman caught in adultery. He said, “I don’t condemn you.”\u00a0 But He had another message for her. Think about it.\u00a0 Ask yourself this question: “If Jesus were speaking to me today on my worst day, what would he tell me?”\u00a0 Would He say, “Peace, be still.\u00a0 You’re forgiven”? And what instruction would He give me to change my life?\u00a0 The truth is, Jesus makes people mad in order to heal them and set them free<\/strong>; confronting the truth and then allowing His grace to cover it, redeem it, set us free, and love us back to life.\u00a0 Yea God!\u00a0 Yea Jesus!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
