Who is worthy? Who among us is without sin?

4and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" 6They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." 8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9At 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. 10Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" 11"No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin." - John 8:4-11

I think many of us forget something that is probably the most important mindset that a Christian should have. The fact that none of us ever was or is worthy of anything and we deserve nothing. In the beginning of time at the fall of man when Adam and Eve introduced sin into this world the punishment was death which means that none of us breathing and living today should never have been given the opportunity to live. However, many us of go day in and day out thinking that we are doing things in our own strength or through our own righteousness, but in reality the very fact that we are able to breathe is by the grace of God. Everyone take a deep breath. Take a moment to think about that breath and reflect.That breath that you just took was because God has been gracious enough to give you that breath.
But like stubborn and ignorant children we ask God for signs of his existence and for God to grant us our wish in order for us to know that he is real. Don't we realize? God owes us nothing but we owe Him everything. There is nothing else that God needs to do for us. He has already given us life when we deserved death then on top of that He made the greatest sacrifice of all to send his one and only Son to die on the cross and STILL we ask God for more. We pray for blessing upon our lives and for comfort for our families. WHO among us is worthy of this grace? I think we can all come to the unanimous conclusion that it is none of us.
I love this passage with the first encounter Mary Madeline has with Jesus, right as she is about to be stoned I think Jesus does one of the most amazing things, more amazing than turning water into wine even. He shows us who we all really are with just one statement that implies one question, "Who among you is without Sin?" and we see that all can relate even 2000 years later because we realize that we are all with sin. We are Sinners, but we sometimes forget that in church. We think cause we come to church, serve, and lift up our hands during worship that somehow we no longer are sinners but when we actually stop to think about it we all know. We all know that we are the worst of all sinners just as Paul declared for himself. But I think whats worse is that people who look into church from the outside don't realize that the church is full of sinners. They stand in the outside and can't step in because they feel that no one else will be like them. That one else sins or doubts as much as they do when in reality its completely the opposite! We are not in church because we are righteous! We are there because we recognize how depraved and unworthy we are! Because we've come to realize that without Christ there is nothing, there is nothing for us in this world. We've tried to strive on our own, immerse ourselves in the pleasure of this world, pile our lives with work and worldly success and through it all we realize even more clearly that it is all rubbish without the Love of Christ.
I hope and I pray that we never forget the depths of darkness that we came from. That the world does not look at us from the outside and see a group of self righteous "holy" people but rather they see the brokenness in us. That they see a group of sinners just like them, a place where they can enter and be accepted and comforted. I can't stand to see someone so lost and so deceived by the devil that they think they do not deserve Christ, when in reality...there is no one on earth who deserves Him, that is why it's called Grace.
