CALLED TO SAVE

John 8:5 ERV "The Law of Moses commands us to stone to death any such woman. What do you say we should do?”

How do people feel when they carry out jungle justice on fellow men and women like them? I sincerely can't comprehend it! To kill a fellow man? Are they possessed by demons or what? It takes being completely heartless to kill or physically abuse another human being!

I visited a particular community twice or thrice in a period, and each time I saw bodies just being burnt! I couldn't bear it. If I've never killed a chicken how can people easily kill fellow men! When did we become animals? The heart of man is truly wicked!  

But we are as guilty as perpetrators of jungle justice when we hate fellow men, when we slander others, when we abuse people and when we look down on them. One certain time the disciples wanted to command fire to come down from heaven to consume people, Jesus turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.”
