But Jesus came not to be served, but to serve. And that's the same heart of the Father. Of course, there's some sort of, there's a distinct between Jesus and God because of certain things and roles that they fulfilled. But in divine essence, they are the same, which is why God sent Jesus. God sent Jesus because he wanted to show the people of God firsthand that this is the man that you serve.

Right. And we go to the end of the story where it says 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. She straightened up and asked her. Jesus straightened up and asked her, woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you? No one sir, she said. Then neither do I condemn you, Jesus declared.

Now go leave your life of sin. And so when we see grace, grace isn't a get out of jail free card. Whenever you forgive somebody and whenever you're going through, whether somebody hurt you really bad or if somebody just cut you off while you were driving on your way to work, grace comes into place.

It doesn't necessarily take away the consequences of sin, but it releases that divine and divine judgment and that anger and that self-righteousness that you could have been feeling in that moment and And so grace is not just something we deserve or earn. It's a gift that's freely given. And the only one who could have casted a stone upon this woman, which was Jesus, didn't.

This woman stood before the judge, and yet he showed compassion and called her to live a life apart from sin. How much more should we encourage the same message upon those who have wronged us? We must have a compassion that sets a grace on fire, that consumes bittered hearts, and then encourages them to sprout new life through repentance. God just loves the people that you hate.

And I think sometimes we think unforgiveness is, hey, this person gets a jail out of free card. You're just releasing yourself from the expectation that they're going to fulfill something that only God could give you restoration through.

and so with grace it's not hey get out of jail free and we're just going to act like this didn't happen because there's still consequences of sin but that no longer falls upon you that falls upon the person who has committed those sins just like in the garden of eden like like god released judgment upon adam and eve but still gave them grace and restored them through that process but there was still a consequence of sin it's the same thing with forgiveness it's releasing yourself from bitterness

and judgment and hoping the best for the other person even if they have wronged you completely it's empathizing with them or more so empathizing with god because god's not calling you to become best friends with the person who abused you and hurt you god's just calling you to release yourself from the expectation of them apologizing and becoming better and doing this and rewriting your story you really receive the peace of god when you release his people from a judgment that only god can release himself
