John 8: Ignore the rest, respond as God tells you!

COME:

John 8

4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of adultery. 5 In the law Moses commanded us to stone to death such women. What then do you say?” 6 (Now they were asking this in an attempt to trap him, so that they could bring charges against him.) Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger. 7 When they persisted in asking him, he stood up straight and replied,“Whoever among you is guiltless may be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Then he bent over again and wrote on the ground.9 Now when they heard this, they began to drift away one at a time, starting with the older ones, until Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus stood up straight and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” 11 She replied, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either. Go, and from now on do not sin any more.”]]

HEAR:

Notice how Jesus responded to pressure. Nearly ignored it. Many have speculated on what he wrote on the ground. I cannot speculate on that right now. Because what's more important is what the text says, not what it doesn't say. One day Oral Roberts and Jerry Savelle had a meeting with a high ranking official in Africa. Jerry was speaking with the Official and listening to him also. Oral was doodling on a napkin. He'd wad it up and throw it aside and start doodling again. Finally after having gone through several he tapped Jerry and said "Hey look at this"... Jerry thought it was a little rude to interrupt the Official but out of respect he looked at it.

It read:

STREBOR LARO

Oral said, "You know what that it?" Jerry said "I have no idea what that is." Oral said: "It's 'Oral Roberts' spelled backwards." Jerry said, "Oral are we boring you?" Oral said, "YES! You are all thinking to small!" and with that he laid out a bigger vision and the Official and Jerry got excited and the government there gave them a bunch of land to do it on.

The point is, that Jesus didn't give in to pressure or situations. He didn't get disturbed by others lack of vision. He simply ignored it and gave the only response he HEARD the Father tell him to give.

DO:

I'm going to spend more time listening today, and less time talking. I'm going to try to ONLY say what the Father says.
