The blind leading the blind!

“You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.” John 8:15

Jesus points out that the Pharisees judge according to the flesh or from a human point of view. They see someone committing adultery and they want to punish that person. They look at the wrongdoing not the person’s heart. They cast judgment on people but overlook their own shortcomings. They are blind to God and their own sins yet want to lead the blind (sinners like you and me) into religion and laws. They want to punish but God wants to set you free.

Jesus judges no one! You have already been judged by God and found guilty. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. There is no one who has escaped sin so you fall into the same category as the lady who committed adultery.

The laws of God established through Moses on Mount Sinai prove that no one can keep the precepts of God. The laws condemn and convict all of their unworthiness in the eyes of God.

Jesus proclaimed that if you abide in Me, the truth will set you free. You must set aside the mindset of all laws when you come to God. You come guilty and unacceptable to God.

The only way you can be restored to God is to ask Jesus, the Son of God, to live in you and to abide in Him.

You abide in Jesus through His Spirit dwelling within you. The Spirit will convict you and cleanse you of all sin through the blood of Jesus. The Spirit will set you free and allow you to live a life pleasing to God.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life!
