The Gospel of John 8:1-2 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.” (John 8:1-2 KJV)

These passages set the stage for the conflict and tension that's about to unfold. The Mount of Olives, with the Lord's presence, becomes a symbolic battleground between the forces of condemnation and mercy, where legalism and grace will clash heads on. Forgiveness will reign and none forsaken. This place becomes a setting of the Lord's illustration of the power of grace and the profound demonstration of His moral and spiritual teachings.

As His habit wherever He is, the Lord Jesus went to the temple, where people gather for prayer and teaching of the word. We see in this scene that all the people came to Him, and He taught. Such a very inspiring and touching action of people eager to be taught. This is nudging us today, to come and be taught. The risen Lord Jesus Christ is always ready every morning and available in His temple to teach. Let's keep in mind, that by faith in Him the risen Lord, we are His temple. Our body is the temple of the living God (2 Corinthians 6:16b).

Hence, we make it our habit every morning to have a regular appointment with our Lord Jesus Christ. As we come and show up, not in temples made by human hands (Acts 17:24) nor a specific mountain, wherever we are, as we worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24), He comes. He will teach us. We have this promise to look to, it is written that - “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”” (Lamentations 3:22-24 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
