59th Post Jesus His Mission Con't - John 8:26.

This passage is from John 8: 26. "I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him." This passage needs more information in order to understand it. Go back to beginning of this chapter, you will see that it starts off with the scribes and Pharisees bringing a woman caught in adultery. They bring this woman to Jesus and say that the Law of Moses says we are to stone such women, what
do you say? The Jewish leaders were trying to trick Jesus. The Law of Moses required both man and woman to be stoned. They only had half the guilty party. Jesus' problem with the Leaders of the Temple was that they had forgot that not only is God a God of Justice; He is also a God of Mercy. When Jesus told them that the one without sin cast the first stone, He was making the Leaders admit that they were sinners also. The religious leaders thought that since they read the Torah they were without sin. They thought about sin much the same way they thought about Leprosy if you touched a sinner or came into contact with them you would become unclean. This is why they gave Jesus such trouble about eating at Matthew's house a tax collector.
If you look at the passage John 8:26, I have reminded you of some of the things Jesus will judge concerning them and us. Jesus stayed true to His Father and in every case judged correctly, even when the leaders tried to stack the situation to their advantage. God could always see the Truth. This was true then and is true now. Do you need this Savior?
