“Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?’ Jesus didn’t reply, ‘Well, you’ve got a Bible verse. If the Bible says it, I believe it, and that settles it. Where are the rocks? Let’s get this stoning started!’ No, Jesus says something new: ‘Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.’ That wasn’t what the Law said, but Jesus was revealing the heart of God, not giving a conservative reading of the Torah. Jesus gives us a new ethic of life-affirming mercy, which sets aside the old ethic that supported death penalties. Biblicists who desire to condemn sinners to death can quote the Bible by citing Moses. But Jesus says something else. [...] We cannot create Christian ethics while ignoring Christ!”

“Sin is a terrible fact, but at least it is matched by the consoling fact that God never rejects the sorrowing sinner. The modern world tries to explain sin away, deny the plain facts, and make vice and virtue synonyms. But it has no pity in its cold soul for sinners and no hope to offer the man or the woman who knows the sadness of sin and looks for comfort. It is left for the merciful, sin-crucified Christ to clasp the penitent sinner to His heart.”
