Teaching Pastor: Anne-Marie Finsaas, Pastor of Formational Life | Lent 2017 | www.thedoor.org
Anne-Marie speaks his Sunday, letting the story of the woman caught in adultery bring us to the cross. The woman was a sinner, which Jesus indeed confronted. But she was also being sinned against – used, threatened, indeed very nearly killed by others for their own purposes; and in confronting those who would throw the stones, Jesus protected and restored her.
The cross holds all of this – our need for the judgment against us to be released and our sins forgiven; and our need for healing from our own sins and the sins of others.
