Rescuing a Lamb
“but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down, and taught them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle, they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act. Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?” They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger. But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.” Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle. Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”” (John 8:1-11 WEB)
The woman was dragged out like an injured lamb, and thrown in the midst of ravenous wolves.
They were snapping their fangs at her, howling for bloodshed.
But the good Shepherd protected His lost lamb. With one swing of the rod, He chased the vicious wolves away.
The lamb, trembling and alone, looked up with squinted eyes.
She thought it was the noonday sun shining at full power, but it was the Shepherd.
With a gentle and loving voice, He led her into His sheepfold, where she lived safe forevermore.
———
How come Jesus could spare the woman from being stoned? Doesn’t the Law say that those who are caught in adultery should be stoned?
It is because Jesus took her punishment at the cross. He bore her sins, and ours. Everyone can freely receive forgiveness of sins by placing their faith in Jesus as Lord.
The four gospels are beautiful because we can see our Lord Jesus clearly. Every word, parable, miracle, and action carries the fragrance of Heaven. Never let any wrong interpretations steal the joy of your salvation. Understand the four gospels through the lens of Grace: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable

Jesus Came to Fulfill, Not to Destroy
““Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill. For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.” (Matthew 5:17-18 WEB)
Even though I write that we are not supposed to keep the Law of Moses today, I am not calling the Law evil or making it seem like something bad.
The Law shows God’s holiness, revealing that only perfection is acceptable to God. Anything short of God’s glory is unrighteous.
Jesus did not come to destroy the Law. He didn’t say, “Oh Israel, I guess this is too hard for you to keep. It’s okay, let Me snap My fingers and cancel this Law. Let’s forget about it okay?”
No, Jesus came to fulfill the Law on our behalf. The requirements of the Law can be summed up by the following verse:
“Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins, he shall die.” (Ezekiel 18:4 WEB)
Sin is a crime that demands the penalty of death. God is holy, so He must punish sin.
However, God also loves us, so how can He spare us and yet justly punish sin?
The answer is the cross. God the Father placed all our sins upon His Son Jesus Christ, and punished Him fully in our place, so that the wages of sin which the Law requires was fully paid by Jesus’ death. The divine, sinless blood which He shed is worth much more than all the sins of the world throughout the passage of time.
So for us who have faith in Jesus, the issue of sin is settled. We are forgiven. He has fulfilled the Law’s requirements on our behalf, making us righteous.
However, the Law will not pass away until God creates a new Heaven and new earth at the end of time. The Law still has a purpose to be met.
“For there is no partiality with God. For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified (for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them) in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.” (Romans 2:11-16 WEB)
At the Great White Throne judgment, Jesus will sit as judge, and the unbelievers will be judged based on their conscience if they are Gentiles, and by the Law (Ten Commandments) if they are Jews.
Jesus has record books of their works, and will measure out the appropriate degree of punishment before they are cast into the lake of fire. Each unsaved soul will experience a different level of torment based on the works they have done in their lifetime. Of course, the one screaming the loudest will be Satan.
“I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them. I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:11-15 WEB)
After that final judgment, when all humans, fallen angels, and Nephilim giants have been judged and sentenced to their appropriate eternal abodes, then the Law will pass away. At that point in time, all things will be accomplished, and eternity will begin. Christ shall reign supreme and be all in all.
For us who believe, the future is bright. Read this passage which will happen after the Law has passed away:
“I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”” (Revelation 21:1-4 WEB)

Get Younger Using Moses’ Youth Renewal Secret
“And Moses goeth up from the plains of Moab unto mount Nebo, the top of Pisgah, which [is] on the front of Jericho, and Jehovah sheweth him all the land — Gilead unto Dan, and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah unto the further sea, and the south, and the circuit of the valley of Jericho, the city of palms, unto Zoar. And Jehovah saith unto him, ‘This [is] the land which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed I give it; I have caused thee to see with thine eyes, and thither thou dost not pass over.’ And Moses, servant of the Lord, dieth there, in the land of Moab, according to the command of Jehovah; and He burieth him in a valley in the land of Moab, over-against Beth-Peor, and no man hath known his buryingplace unto this day. And Moses [is] a son of a hundred and twenty years when he dieth; his eye hath not become dim, nor hath his moisture fled.” (Deuteronomy 34:1-7 YLT98)
At the age of 120 years old, Moses was able to climb to the top of Mount Nebo. Some people half his age or younger today can’t even do that.
He was so healthy, the Scriptures record that “his eyes had not become dim, nor had his moisture fled.” Moisture (in Hebrew: lechoh) in the skin is what keeps us physically fresh and young. At 120 years of age, Moses still looked young and was healthy!
He died on the mountain, not because of weakness or sickness, but due to God commanding him to die there.
“Yahweh spoke to Moses that same day, saying, “Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is across from Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession. Die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, and was gathered to his people; because you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you didn’t uphold my holiness among the children of Israel. For you shall see the land from a distance; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel.”” (Deuteronomy 32:48-52 WEB)
Consider this, Moses was so healthy and brimming with life that he wouldn’t die naturally. Moses was instructed to die and he willingly laid down his life on the mountain (sounds like how Jesus laid down His life at the cross doesn’t it).
What was Moses’ secret to enduring health and youth?
“Since then, there has not arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom Yahweh knew face to face,” (Deuteronomy 34:10 WEB)
Moses often met with the pre-incarnate Christ (now our Lord Jesus) in the Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle.
He spoke to Yahweh the Son and after that, came out of the Tabernacle with a shining face because of God’s glory that was transmitted to him.
When Moses beheld Yahweh, he was transformed from glory to glory, kept young, healthy and strong with fresh infusions of life.
Many believers are weak, old, and sick today because they don’t spend time with Jesus. In His presence is life. Under the New Covenant of Grace, we approach God through a new and life-giving way—the more we spend time with Him in various ways, His power saturates our being and preserves our body as well.
“But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.” (2 Corinthians 3:18 WEB)
The primary way to see the “glory of the Lord as in a mirror” today is through receiving revelations of Him in the Scriptures. The more you see, believe, and extend that process through continued meditation on revelations of Jesus, the more life you receive.
Notice that Paul compares it to a “mirror” because “as Jesus is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). To see Jesus is to see ourselves and who we are in Him.
In Heaven there is no sickness, death or aging. Everyone there is full of life—always healthy, young and strong. As He the glorified Christ is now, so are you right now in this world. When you see this truth, you will be transformed into the same image of health, strength, and youth.
How physically healthy, strong and young do you want to be? You can be younger and younger, the supernatural way!

On a night where they honored their past,
the Houston Rockets got a pretty good look at the future.
The Rockets retired Clyde Drexler's No. 22 at halftime, then
rallied for a 109-106 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers behind
a career-high 32 points from Shandon Anderson and clutch play
from Kelvin Cato.
Drexler, a former University of Houston standout who was part of
the Rockets' 1995 NBA championship team, was honored in a
35-minute halftime ceremony that included former NBA greats
Julius Erving, Buck Williams and Kiki Vandeweghe. Jack Ramsay,
Drexler's first NBA coach with the Portland Trail Blazers, also
was at the ceremony.
"Growing up in Houston, watching the NBA and watching college
ball, I developed a real love of the game," Drexler said. "To
be able to play it here and now to have my number retired with
Rudy Tomjanovich, Calvin Murphy and Moses Malone, I never would
have thought that. I never thought about being on the court
with them, much less being able to play with them."
Also on hand were Drexler's mother, wife and four children and
Guy Lewis, his former coach at UH. Drexler, who became coach of
his alma mater last season, also heard kind words from Hakeem
Olajuwon, his teammate at school and with the Rockets.
"I am honored to stand here tonight with Clyde," Olajuwon said.
"I've watched Clyde from the beginning in college and we won a
championship together. But it's not just his game, it's his
character. He's a very complete person. It's a blessing for me
to be here with him."
The extended halftime seemed to bother the Rockets, who blew a
nine-point halftime lead but recovered with a 15-0 burst into
the fourth quarter that gave them the lead for good. Anderson
scored nine points in the run.
"I think it was a coincidence that I had that type of game on a
night his number was retired," said Anderson, who was 10-of-17
from the field. "But I've always liked the way he's played, how
he went coast-to-coast. In a lot of ways, my game is a mirror
image of his."
"Shandon was phenomenal," said Tomjanovich, the Rockets' coach.
"He was all over the place. Tonight he did it a lot of
different ways. When we're running and when he gets into the
flow, he's at his best."
Cato scored six of his 10 points in the final two minutes as the
Rockets held off a furious late rally by the 76ers, who went 1-3
on a four-game road trip, with each contest decided by three
points or less. Philadelphia fell to 11-4 in such contests.
Sixers All-Star guard Allen Iverson scored 40 points on 16-of-25
shooting. However, the team fell to 2-10 all-time when he scores
40 or more, including 1-3 this season.
"Iverson is something special," Tomjanovich said. "He made some
great shots tonight. I feel very fortunate to get the win. This
is a really big win against a really good team."
"It really didn't matter what we did," Iverson said. "They just
played excellent."
Despite losing rookie guard and leading scorer Steve Francis to
a strained left groin, Houston won for the ninth time in 12
games. Olajuwon scored 14 points, his best total since
returning from hernia surgery, as the Rockets had seven players
in double figures.
"I think it's just time and learning how each other plays,"
Anderson said. "We had a lot of new guys at the start of the
year and the biggest thing to learn is where the shots are going
to come from. I think the coaching staff has done a great job
of getting us position, both offensively and defensively."
"We're learning what it takes to win as a team," said Cato, who
had three of his four blocks in the final period. "At first, we
were waiting for the older guys to show us the way, but then we
all got hurt. Now we're learning how to play with one another.
The biggest thing is we've had an opportunity to practice with
each other. That has helped us come together."
A dunk by rookie Kenny Thomas, who had 11 points and 12
rebounds, capped the 15-0 run and gave Houston a 95-79 bulge
with eight minutes left. A jumper by Philadelphia's Theo
Ratliff, who tied season highs with 25 points and five blocks,
ended a scoreless drought of 5:04 and started a comeback by the
Sixers.
A three-point play by Ratliff cut the deficit to 99-94 before
Anderson found Cato with an inbounds pass for an alley-oop dunk
that beat the shot clock with two minutes left. Iverson made a
pair of tough baskets around a free throw by Cato, then drew a
foul with 47 seconds to go.
He made the first to cut the deficit to 102-99 but missed the
second. Ratliff ran down the long rebound and fed Iverson, who
missed a potential tying 3-pointer.
Two free throws each by Cato, Cuttino Mobley and Bryce Drew made
it 108-103 with 13 seconds to go. Philadelphia's Eric Snow hit
a 3-pointer with 4.2 seconds left and the Sixers fouled Cato,
who split a pair from the line, giving the Sixers a chance to
tie.

Philadelphia 98, New Orleans 90
Iverson's 55 Gives Sixers Game 1
In the illustious history of the Philadelphia 76ers, nobody -- not Wilt, not Dr. J, not Moses -- had an individual performance like Allen Iverson's against the New Orleans Hornets.
Iverson scored a team playoff-record 55 points as the 76ers defeated the Hornets, 98-90, in Game One of their Eastern Conference first-round series.
"He was on fire," Hornets coach Paul Silas said of Iverson, who fell eight points shy of Michael Jordan's NBA playoff record set exactly 17 years ago in a double-overtime loss at Boston. "Anytime a guy like that is on fire, there's very little you can do except to take the ball out of his hands. It's right up there with Michael's 63. He just had a great night."
The NBA saw some superlative performances over the opening weekend of the playoffs, but the best came in the last game.
Iverson shot 21-of-32, including 9-of-11 in the fourth quarter, and 10-of-11 from the line to surpass his own playoff record of 54 points set in a 97-92 triumph over Toronto in Game 2 of the 2001 conference semifinals.
"I knew he'd come out with fire in his eyes," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "(Dirk) Nowitzki goes for 46 and Tracy (McGrady) goes for 43, Kobe (Bryant) went for 39. So I figured he was motivated a little."
"I just caught a rhythm," Iverson said. "I got in one of those rhythms where the basket looks like an ocean and I was just throwing rocks in it. My teammates did a superb job just getting me the ball in the spots where I need them, and every time I came up free, the ball was there."
It was the sixth-highest total in NBA playoff history and three points shy of Iverson's personal best.
"This was his best ever, by far," Brown said. "And he's had some pretty darn good games."
With his teammates almost entirely shut down by the Hornets, Iverson stepped up time and again. After George Lynch nailed a baseline jumper to get New Orleans within 86-84 with 4:05 remaining, Iverson countered with back-to-back 3-pointers to help the Sixers hang on.
New Orleans got within 94-90 on a pair of free throws by Jamal Mashburn with 52 seconds left, but Iverson -- who scored 20 points in the final 12 minutes -- responded 15 seconds later with an arching scoop shot over P.J. Brown.
Eric Snow capped the scoring with a pair of free throws with 17 seconds to play.
Snow added 15 points and 10 assists and Aaron McKie scored 12 points for the Sixers, who lost two of three meetings with the Hornets during the season, including a 94-89 defeat a week ago.
"This is the same team," Snow said. "But you have to remember, we didn't have Keith Van Horn or Derrick Coleman that game, and they absolutely killed us on the rebounding. That is our top two leading rebounders that didn't even play. So I think that they made up for a lot of that."
New Orleans again outrebounded Philadelphia, 37-32, but the Sixers scored more second-chance points, 12-7.
Mashburn scored 28 points to pace New Orleans, which fell behind for good, 70-68, on a 3-pointer by Iverson that closed the third quarter.
Iverson scored 13 points in the opening period as the Sixers jumped to a 27-20 lead.
New Orleans took its biggest lead, 36-30, on a pair of free throws by David Wesley with 6:45 left in the second quarter before Philadelphia tightened its defense and went back on top, 49-44, entering the break. Iverson had 25 points at halftime.
"I felt good in the beginning especially in the first quarter," Iverson said. "I hit some free throws and my free-throw shooting felt good. A lot of times when my free throws are good, I feel like my jumper can get on early in the game. But in the second half, the third and fourth quarters, that is when I knew I was in a rhythm."
The Sixers had 24 assists and committed 15 turnovers, while the Hornets had 12 assists and 24 giveaways, which Philadelphia converted into 24 points.
"We had opportunities to go ahead and we turned the ball over, and that's what hurt us," Lynch said. "They are a good team and you cannot turn the ball over against them. They are going to scrap. This series is going to come down to who is going to get on the floor more and whoever leaves it on the floor, leaves some skin, leaves some blood, that's who is going to win."
"We were not very good tonight and we have to be better in order to win," Silas added. "If we had taken care of the ball, we really would have done better."
"I think if I'm a fan, sitting there watching what he did, I would be pretty excited," Brown said of Iverson. "It was pretty neat. He took it upon himself and did extraordinary things. I don't know how it could get much better than that.
"(But) we can't do it with expecting him to get 51. We have to do it as a team. In fairness to him, we have to have people step up and accept that responsibility."
