Forgiving Eyes - Michael Card

John 8: 2-11
Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?" This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?" 11 She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."

FORGIVING EYES
Michael Card

Surrounded with shouts the cruel accusations
Dragged to the court no hope of salvation
All hope was lost for those who had caught me
Knew what I was, They knew all about me
I thought it seemed strange as we entered in
They stopped a young rabbi to ask His opinion
Caught in the act, their reason for hating
My body could feel the stones that were waiting
My judge a man from Galilee
In His eyes so gentle I could see
A father and a brother and a son

Chorus
Just as I saw Him
The hope I had lost became born again
I was not hopeless though I'd been lost
Now, I felt I was found when He looked at me
With His forgiving eyes

The crowd gathered round, so angry and violent
But He stood beside me, peaceful and silent
Then with a word
With one question He showed them that
They too were guilty and could not condemn
The next thing I knew He asked me, Where are they
And I looked around the courtyard was empty
The stones scattered round, the warm morning sunlight
He'd made the darkness perfectly light
In this new light now I understood
He would not condemn me though He could
For He would be condemned someday for me

Chorus

@thaiacapepe

Thank you for taking time to watch, listen and comment. I have always been fascinated by how he saved a life by wisdom and not by supernatural means. I have always felt a kinship with the character in this episode. Indeed, it was my favourite scripture for a long time.

God bless you abundantly!

[SaphirasFire]

What movie is these clips from?

[Injeannieous]

Amazing how we want to categorize sin so that what someone else does is called sin and what we think or do is righteous behavior. Sin is sin in God's eyes.

[cori1312]

what film was this taken from? anyone?

[Soulreaver191]

How very true. All of us have fallen to sin, who are we to point fingers and cast judgement on others?

[harlyhon]

Looks like video from the Bible Stories series of movies...this one entitled : JESUS

Not completely true to Scripture, but a good movie nontheless
