We introduced the adulterous woman,and what Christ silence ment for her. How Christ took her sins and replaced it with salvation.

We dont do much good by speaking too much about the faults of others. If we could learn Christ way of speaking a little, we would be much more likely to reach our end. He never exposed the faults of His disciples, even when others would find faults in them. When they were blamed for plucking the ears of corn He defended them, when they were blamed for not fasting, he gave reasons as to why they didnt at the moment.

What about when they all forsook Him and fled, He was never offended. When Peter denied Him, He never utter a word of reproach, He only gave him a look that was silent but how it touched Peter's soul.

Peter remembered when Jesus asked him by the see of Galilee three times " Do you love me? " three times. There was evidently an allusion to his thrice-repeated denial. Peter longed to have Christ speak of his betrayal, so he could confess his sins and be forgiven. But Christ never said more about it. When Christ spoke about His disciples in John 17, you would think these men are faultless. He said they have kept His word, they are not of this world even as He is not of this world, He never speeks of their failures but their faith. He is not an accuser like the devil, he is ready to accept you with all your flaws, He speaks of your faith to the Father,His love is so endless.

The very height of His love can be seen with John the beloved. No man had a broken heart than John, when he came back and stood at the cross for some hours before his master died. John who used to lay his head oj Chirst's bosom, had forsaken Him and fled but Christ said not a single word of rebuke for him.

Christ looked John and said, " there is my mother, she is your mother now. Take her home with you. I forgive you. That was all John needed to hear, he was scared, he felt broken, he belived he had committed the greatest sin on earth but Christ forgave him.

HE IS STILL THE SAME, COME TO CHRIST NOW HE IS WAITING FOR YOU.
