Joy of a New Beginning

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. John 8:11

Bible Reading: John 8:1-11

The joy of a new beginning is beyond measure. I remember the joy that filled our hearts as a family few years ago when we cried to God for mercy concerning one of our friends and God spoke that He has opened a new chapter and a new page for him. The same is similar to the encounter of the woman in our Bible reading today who was taken to Jesus after being caught in an act of adultery. Her accusers were ready to stone her to death because they had legal backings according to the Law of Moses. But when they brought the case to Jesus, the story changed. The woman was saved and given a new beginning because Jesus Christ revealed to them His unfailing love and grace that gives us life in Him. I pray that for a reader of this devotional today in need of mercy, the Lord will have mercy upon you in Jesus’ name.

In times like this, God is giving you another opportunity to start afresh. Change your old ways so that you can fully walk in the reality of His plans for your life. He desires that you have genuine salvation through Jesus Christ; pursue Him earnestly and be faithful to what He has committed into your hands. Maximize this newness in Christ by renewing your mind because this is your reasonable act of worship (Romans 12:1-2). The question is ‘will you go and sin no more’?

Action Point: Identify the areas you need to start afresh.

Daily Confession: Dear Jesus Christ, I embrace Your mercy, I receive Your newness and I walk in Your truth daily. Amen

Intercessory prayer: Pray for the salvation of people in your life who are yet to embrace the redemptive work of Jesus at the Cross of Calvary.

Hymn: Once again a new beginning,

Yesterday I put behind,

To You Lord I come in seeking,

For Your Words, bring them to mind.

Oh Lord, grant me Your rich speaking,

Cause my spirit filled to be,

Lord, my heart and thoughts transforming,

That my life I live by Thee.
