If recent conversations about abortion have left you with a heavy heart, you’re not alone.
Sometimes these conversations touch places in our hearts we weren’t expecting or they can bring old memories to the surface that awaken emotions we thought had settled long ago.
In John 8, a woman stood surrounded by people holding stones. Jesus didn’t ignore the truth of her situation, but He didn’t condemn her either. Instead, He met her with mercy and one by one, her accusers walked away knowing they were not without sin.
“Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” John 8:7
What strikes me every time I read this passage is that Jesus was never forced to choose between truth and grace. He was full of both. He saw her whole story. He saw her pain, her brokenness and her circumstances.
When everyone else walked away, Jesus stayed.
Be encouraged. Let the love of Jesus settle your hearts. If you need someone to talk to, we are here. Call or text 419-304-3221 to schedule an appointment.
