Proud
Jesus did not condemn, and neither should we. Jesus loved, and so should we. But Jesus also said "go leave your life of sin". He was about transforming lives. He died for sinners, not for those that called themselves sinless, for we have all sinned and all fall short of the Glory of God. For that is why God sent Jesus to die on the cross for us. To save ourselves from a life of sin.
John 7:53-8:11
New International Version (NIV)
53 Then they all went home, 8 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
Sexual sin is especially talked against in the Bible, and those that call themselves "Proud" have many passages in the Bible that call a spade a spade. To call something sin, is not politically correct. But it needs to be understood at the same time as the knowing of God's love for all, that he did not come to condemn the world but to save it. Go and leave your life of sin, Jesus said. Go and sell all you have and give to the poor, he told the rich man. Whatever keeps us from being able to follow Jesus, should be left at the feet of the cross. He died, and rose again, victorious over sin and death.
I am proud to call Jesus my friend. I am proud to be online talking of his saving grace.
