Go, and now sin no more.
1 while Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
There is nothing uglier in the sight of God than sin. The price of all your sins was paid by Me with my sufferings and death on the cross. I am the sacrificial Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, for this reason I came to the world to forgive even the hardest sinners. When this woman in the gospel was caught committing adultery, those around her were filled with condemnation. They put my compassion to the test but I demonstrated my mercy while at the same time reminded them that all men are sinners. I do not look at appearances; I look straight into the heart. I see the sins of the world, but as a doctor who desires to cure his patients I ardently desire the salvation of all men. It is very sad to look at a person harming himself, yet this is what I see in all of you when you sin. I see how you try so hard to kill your souls daily and it grieves my heart that so many ignore my divine healing. Salvation begins with repentance, which is the key to the spiritual life. Once the person begins that change of heart, my grace is given access into his soul and I start my work. When will you understand that I want to help you? For your own good, give up your sinful life, go and sin no more.
