Today Rev. Jesse Larson reads John 8: 1-11, the story about Jesus encountering people who were about to punish a sinful woman. His message today reminds us that Jesus is always turning us away from our worst instincts and onto a path of redemption and recovery. Jesus looks beyond our sins and refuses to condemn us. And we should try to do the same when others make mistakes or purposely go out of their way to be mean. Rev. Jesse concludes, "When hatred is met with grace, the results are often amazing."
