None of them who were gathered to stone Mary were good people. Hearing the words of Jesus
they threw away the stones and went and led good lives. The prostitute Mary fell on Jesus’ feet and apologized and disowned her previous profession. Jesus blessed her after she took this decision. What can we learn from this? A person, if he realizes his mistake and repent wholeheartedly, he will be relieved of the sins. Knowingly or unknowingly, if one does a mistake and realizes that it was a mistake and if he apologizes and asks for forgiveness from God, then Jesus will forgive him. Again if you do the same mistake, God will not forgive. On the other hand he will punish for the present and previous sins. And the punishment for a sin is death.
Jesus fed five thousand people with five bread and two fish. The bread that he gave them was his words. All those who ate the bread were full and they became like Jesus Christ.
Christianity came at a time when Buddhism and Jewish religion were widespread. Gradually when Christianity spread to more places, more people came to know about Jesus Christ. Many did not accept his preaching. They became his enemies. Jesus was betrayed by one of his own disciple, Judas, for 30 Shekels. What can we learn from this? We can’t trust even our close friends. They can be our classmates, relatives or disciples. We can’t predict whether they will cheat or betray us. But Jesus knew in advance that Judas would betray. Jesus did not show any enmity towards Judas. Love was Jesus’ armor. Jesus would give the sword of love to others and get the love from others. If we give love unconditionally to others, we would also get back love. But we would not get back whatever we give. One example is how Jesus was hated and betrayed by people. Jesus was perhaps the most brutalized person in the entire history of world. There was no limit for the torture he received. Jesus took upon hinself other’s sins and relieved them of their sins. Can anybody else in this world do this? Answer is NO. Only Jesus can do it.
