The Silence Chapter Two

Previously on the silence https://read.cash/@eLdavis/the-silence-chapter-one-3aa200a6 ( for dose yet to read it) we introduce the theme silence, what it means when Chirst is silent. Christ silence to our sin, is a sign that He does not care about our faults, all He is after is our salvation. When Christ heard what the accusers of the adulterous woman said, He turned away amd began to write on the ground as if to give a silent rebuke to them. He lifted Himself up and looked at them, He did not say one word to the woman, instead He said a searching word to those round her.

*John 8:7 KJV* *So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.* When He looked up the second time, her accusers had all disappeared. Then He said to the woman " neither do i conderm thee" ***John 8:11 KJV*** ***She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.***

He did not reject her, He acted as a sin-bearer. He was casting her sins into the depths of the sea, in exchange for the power to sin no more. It was not because her sin was small, it was because of His endless love. When you take your sin to Him, He will not rebuke you, He we not scold you, He will never cast you out.

Most times we may feel God does not notice our sin because of His silent. He is only giving you time for repentance. ***TO BE CONTINUED...***
