It's not only exciting but a sense of freedom has gripped me as I am writing this first post from John 8 , today I pray whoever reads this will receive freedom and joy without limits :)
"Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say ? JESUS BENT DOWN AND WROTE ON THE GROUND. "
As I read this chapter, I wondered and wondered what Jesus wrote on that dust with his fingers ..till God begin to show me the equation of the SLAVE and MASTER..
We all know that Hebrew people had slaves ... I read the Greek, Roman and Hebrew laws of slavery and found this one truth .. that THE SLAVES HAD NO IDENTITY OF THEIR OWN ..
They were not even the full citizens of the country .. they would continue serving in the house of the master and even to his next generation...so coming to the life course of a Slave .. a slave could not be free until the owner sets him free or the slave earns enough to buy his own freedom.
When the Pharisees brought the women in adultery to Jesus ... they truly brought you and me before the Lord.. when they accused her .... they accused you and me before the lord ...when they asked Jesus to judge her .. they truly asked him to judge US.
IF YOU FORGET THE WHOLE POST THEN REMEMBER THE MANUMISSION
Now here comes the MANUMISSION DEED
Below I have attached the manumission deed of an 11 year old slave George. In order to set the slave free the owner had to write a manumission deed.
Now mankind after the fall was owned by SIN ... sin was the master that never allows manumission ...but JESUS knew that true manumission was possible only when he himself becomes SIN ..the one who had never sinned .. who is the epitome of holiness .. becomes SIN to sign our manumission deed ..to set the women in adultery free ... and later explained it in the chapter " the slave does not remain in the house forever the son does, so if the SON SETS YOU FREE YOU ARE FREE INDEED" John 8:35..The SON had to become SIN to legally take the right of manumission from SIN (our old master)
Dear fellow believers .. this not just a study on John 8 ...this is a picture of God .. a GOD who can go to ANY EXTENT to sign your manumission deed .. he is willing to get his hands dirty to pick you out of that muck of sin
The same fingers that knitted you in the womb .. who used the dust to create your form .. even today is writing on the dust .. the manumission deed of your freedom ..
So tell me ? Have you received your manumission deed .. have you been set free ?There is ONE who stands with your freedom papers ☺️even today ..
Stay blessed 💕
