God Covers our Sin

"Go, and sin no more.

John 8:11

Today's Bible Reading: John 8:1–11.

Typx, is a white correction fluid used to cover up typing errors. Once it dries, you can type over the cover-up as if there were no errors.

The Lord Jesus Christ, offers us an infinitely more powerful and important way to deal with our sin—no cover-up but complete forgiveness. A good example of this shows up in the beginning of John 8 in the story of a woman who was caught in adultery (v 3-4). The teachers of the law wanted Jesus to do something about the woman and her sins. The law said she should be stoned, but Christ did not bother to entertain what the law did or did not say. He simply offered a reminder that all have sinned (Romans 6:23) and told anyone who had not sinned to “throw a stone at” the woman (John 8:7). Not one rock was thrown.

Jesus offered her a fresh start. He said He did not condemn her and instructed that she leave [her] life of sin and “go and sin no more” (v 11). Christ gave her the solution to forgive her sin and ‘type’ a new way of living over her past. That same offer is available to us by His grace.

Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for cleansing me of my sins. Help me to live a renewed life in You.  Amen.
