Mercy Triumphs over Judgement

This is the age of ” Be fast or get lost! “. Living in a fast world has trained us to be fast; often way too fast, rather hasty. But look at the marvellous patience of the one and only God-Man, the C​​arpenter of Nazareth at odd circumstances. Now, it was a woman caught red hand in adultery. The accusers were Bible teachers and Temple leaders. They demanded a verdict from Jesus. But he bent down and began writing on the ground as though he did not hear. As the leaders kept on questioning him, He replied, ” He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first. ” They were convicted and left one by one, leaving the woman before the one who alone had the right to stone her. Jesus then told her, ” Neither do I condemn you!” (John 8:1-11). His patience with love towards each of us is just the same.

So,

” Let us not judge anything before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes in visitation to you. Just like casting all cares upon the Lord at the time of need let us also leave the timing for judgement to him when justice is required. “

Remember delaying in judgement occurs because the Lord is unwilling to lose one

even a single soul from coming in repentance to him and be saved. He is not slack concerning his promise.

What wondrous love is this O my soul…
