Jesus was and IS our Savior.
In today's new drawing we see him speaking to the woman who
was caught in adultery.
Jesus is forgiving her but tells her to go her wan and sin no more.
Jesus comforts the Woman caught in Adultery
The local Jewish leaders brought a woman to Him. She was caught in adultery. (I've always wondered what happened to the man. It takes two to commit adultery.) The Law of Moses said she should be stoned. Jesus squatted down and wrote in the dust and then He taught about forgiveness by saying, "He that is without sin among you let him cast the first stone." (or something like that) A
Before I was philosophical I want, as an artist, to point out that the tree is a Date Palm. The light is form the right, and the woman caught in adultery was just dragged before Jesus and her hair probably was not nice and neat.
I love the message Jesus gives us of forgiveness. No matter your sins and weaknesses He wants to forgive you if you repent and sin no more. Jesus did not condone the woman's adultery. He just taught her about forgiveness.
Jesus paid the eternal price for our sins. He suffered and died that we might be forgiven. His Atonement is the greatest gift we have ever received. We all will die one day, and because Jesus was resurrected we all will also be resurrected. How much glory we have in the resurrection depends on our deeds and our faith or lack of faith while we were on the Earth.
If you want to know more about Jesus, contact the missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We ARE Christians. Jesus is at the heart of our beliefs.
