Many of us, view God as a spiritual cop … rather than the Saviour He wants to be. If we’re really honest, we have a view of God like He’s in heaven with a baton, ready to pounce on us.
The problem is, when we view God just as that judge, we tend to distance ourselves from Him.
In the story of ‘the woman caught in adultery’, Jesus could easily have moved into the role of judge. The surprise is, He avoids that role and we learn by His treatment of this woman that Jesus comes to replace ‘guilt’ with ‘grace’, and replace our ‘sin’ with ‘salvation’.
