1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,760
Watch very carefully because 
this woman here is talking to 

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:10,600
this Christian about leaving the
industry, when suddenly her 

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,240
agent appears and shows his true
colours. 

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,240
This is gonna be on the TV show 
and you're in the back. 

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,680
I know it's enough already. 
No, we just you ask you what The

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:55,700
thing is. 
Some people believe that this 

7
00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:58,540
woman actually deserves to be 
disrespected. 

8
00:00:58,580 --> 00:01:03,300
So watch this and then wait for 
my reaction, because I'm about 

9
00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:05,580
to kick a hornet's nest. 
You want. 

10
00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:06,940
How old are you? 
I'm 33. 

11
00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:08,500
How long have you been in the 
movies? 

12
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:09,620
10 years? 
10 years? 

13
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:15,340
You say that you didn't need to 
go into this business because 

14
00:01:15,340 --> 00:01:16,780
you had two successful 
bookstores. 

15
00:01:16,820 --> 00:01:21,380
I had 10. 10 bookstores at 23 
years old, folks, isn't this a 

16
00:01:21,380 --> 00:01:24,240
wonderful country? 
23 years old, you had 10. 

17
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,760
Where'd you get your money from?
I started out with one store, 

18
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,680
very small. 
Mom didn't give you the money. 

19
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,600
Mom, No. 
I made my I made my money 

20
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,120
working for Reynolds Aluminum 
Company pulling on a production 

21
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,840
line and said. 
We made enough money to buy 10 

22
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,320
bookstores, basically. 111 at a 
time. 

23
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,560
When did you start buying the 
bookstores? 

24
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:44,880
When you. 
Start when I was 23. 

25
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,710
When you were 23, yes. 
And you said you didn't even. 

26
00:01:47,710 --> 00:01:49,470
Started out small and I went 
into it. 

27
00:01:49,630 --> 00:01:51,910
How old were you by the time you
had your 10 bookstores? 

28
00:01:52,270 --> 00:01:54,870
I was about 25. 
About 25 in two years. 

29
00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:56,790
We grew by 1000%. 
Yes. 

30
00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:59,910
That's in this a wonderful 
country, yes. 

31
00:02:00,110 --> 00:02:01,350
In this a. 
Wonderful country. 

32
00:02:02,910 --> 00:02:04,670
Are you familiar with the Meese 
Commission report? 

33
00:02:05,110 --> 00:02:07,150
Absolutely. 
You don't agree with anything 

34
00:02:07,150 --> 00:02:10,090
that says, huh? 
I don't agree with everything it

35
00:02:10,090 --> 00:02:12,490
has to say. 
But I'd much rather hear it from

36
00:02:12,490 --> 00:02:15,250
those people who have studied it
than from someone who's laid 

37
00:02:15,250 --> 00:02:17,170
down with everyone that they can
find in a film. 

38
00:02:26,250 --> 00:02:30,090
This woman also used to work in 
the industry, but does that give

39
00:02:30,090 --> 00:02:35,090
her partner a green card to go 
out and have relations with 5000

40
00:02:35,090 --> 00:02:36,450
women? 
How's your back, Gene? 

41
00:02:37,940 --> 00:02:40,700
My back is good. 
That's very nice of you to joke.

42
00:02:40,820 --> 00:02:45,300
It's a joke she's done with you.
It's so rude for you to joke 

43
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:48,500
about it. 
I was, I was just joking because

44
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:53,500
she's a comedian. 
Thanks for the question. 

45
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:55,300
I'm sorry, you're blaming it on 
me. 

46
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:58,460
Don't put this on me. 
Everyone is going to be divided 

47
00:02:58,460 --> 00:03:01,260
on this one. 
The woman you can see right now 

48
00:03:01,690 --> 00:03:05,330
formerly worked in this kind of 
business, but does that mean 

49
00:03:05,330 --> 00:03:09,370
that today she deserves to be 
disrespected as a human being? 

50
00:03:09,970 --> 00:03:11,770
I deserve a second chance in 
life too. 

51
00:03:12,210 --> 00:03:14,060
I did my job. 
I retired. 

52
00:03:14,060 --> 00:03:15,940
I've moved on. 
I'm working really hard at 

53
00:03:15,940 --> 00:03:19,300
something else, and I am 
constantly disrespected and 

54
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:22,820
constantly disregarded as a 
decent human being. 

55
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:26,220
Have you got your seatbelts on? 
Well, we're about to go on a 

56
00:03:26,260 --> 00:03:29,900
very bumpy ride. 
I honestly was kind of surprised

57
00:03:29,900 --> 00:03:33,340
at the reaction that I got from 
my subscribers when I made this 

58
00:03:33,340 --> 00:03:36,060
video. 
People are writing things like I

59
00:03:36,060 --> 00:03:38,780
feel no pity for them. 
They were responsible for the 

60
00:03:38,780 --> 00:03:40,980
choices they made. 
They weren't complaining when 

61
00:03:40,980 --> 00:03:44,380
they got their paycheck, but it 
does raise an absolutely 

62
00:03:44,380 --> 00:03:47,300
critical question. 
Do these people who committed 

63
00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:50,660
these particularly shameful 
sins, do they deserve a second 

64
00:03:50,660 --> 00:03:52,780
chance? 
Or are they just supposed to be 

65
00:03:52,780 --> 00:03:55,100
disrespected for the rest of 
their lives? 

66
00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:58,860
So I do warn you, things are 
going to get a little 

67
00:03:58,860 --> 00:04:01,860
uncomfortable, but I want to go 
there anyway. 

68
00:04:02,230 --> 00:04:04,910
On one hand, actions speak 
louder than words. 

69
00:04:04,910 --> 00:04:08,110
You see, I've seen some of these
women who say, I wish this never

70
00:04:08,110 --> 00:04:11,590
happened, I wish that my videos 
were not on those websites and I

71
00:04:11,590 --> 00:04:14,470
could move forward. 
And then you see what they post 

72
00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:17,350
on Instagram. 
And some of those images leave 

73
00:04:17,350 --> 00:04:19,870
literally nothing to the 
imagination. 

74
00:04:19,950 --> 00:04:22,630
And the fact is, this guy's, 
some of these women who worked 

75
00:04:22,630 --> 00:04:26,470
in this industry do not even 
feel a pinch of embarrassment 

76
00:04:26,470 --> 00:04:29,030
for what they have done. 
The Bible actually describes 

77
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:31,830
these women perfectly. 
It says they are the kind of 

78
00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:35,350
women that refused to blush. 
They have brazen, strong 

79
00:04:35,350 --> 00:04:38,910
foreheads and they eat a meal, 
wipe their mouth and say I have 

80
00:04:38,910 --> 00:04:41,550
done no evil. 
Am I allowed to have an opinion 

81
00:04:41,550 --> 00:04:43,870
on this? 
You see, as a Christian, I 

82
00:04:43,870 --> 00:04:46,470
believe I am called to love 
everyone. 

83
00:04:46,510 --> 00:04:49,750
That doesn't mean that I approve
of their sinful lifestyle, but 

84
00:04:49,750 --> 00:04:52,110
it does mean that I need to 
remember that they are 

85
00:04:52,110 --> 00:04:54,800
spiritually blind. 
And just like every single one 

86
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,800
of us. 
If a blind man entered into your

87
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,680
house and then tripped over and 
created an awful mess, every 

88
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,800
single one of us would have 
patience with that man because 

89
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,280
he's blind. 
And likewise, you and I had to 

90
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:09,280
have patience for those people 
around us who are spiritually 

91
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:11,120
blind. 
Even when they trip over and 

92
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,000
make such a mess, we are still 
to love them. 

93
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,040
Why? 
Because they cannot see the 

94
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,020
lights that we can see. 
Because they live in darkness. 

95
00:05:20,140 --> 00:05:22,900
Guys, I really just want to pour
my heart out to you today. 

96
00:05:22,980 --> 00:05:27,260
I grew up in a safe environment 
with two loving parents who 

97
00:05:27,260 --> 00:05:29,420
looked after me. 
But I know that some of you 

98
00:05:29,420 --> 00:05:31,620
listening to this video didn't 
have that. 

99
00:05:31,780 --> 00:05:34,780
Some of you didn't know where 
your next meal is coming from. 

100
00:05:34,820 --> 00:05:37,500
Some of you listening to me 
right now, you grew up in a 

101
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:41,260
fractious, broken home. 
And some of you, you went 

102
00:05:41,260 --> 00:05:44,350
through things that we could 
never imagine. 

103
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:47,390
And so instead of you and I 
pointing the finger and judging 

104
00:05:47,390 --> 00:05:50,830
these women and saying what are 
you doing, we should rather ask 

105
00:05:50,830 --> 00:05:53,750
the question, why are you doing 
this? 

106
00:05:53,750 --> 00:05:57,990
I mean, what could make a person
feel so low about themselves? 

107
00:05:58,150 --> 00:06:01,910
What could make a person feel 
like they have literally no self

108
00:06:01,910 --> 00:06:05,350
worth that they allow these men 
to do these things in front of 

109
00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:08,270
the whole world to see what 
could bring a person down to 

110
00:06:08,270 --> 00:06:10,830
that point. 
And I honestly believe, as I 

111
00:06:10,830 --> 00:06:14,550
said in this video, I honestly 
believe that after looking at 

112
00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:18,070
case study after case study, 
that these people had grown up 

113
00:06:18,070 --> 00:06:21,710
with this image in their mind, 
that I am only good for one 

114
00:06:21,710 --> 00:06:23,790
thing. 
And that first clip that we just

115
00:06:23,790 --> 00:06:27,590
watched show that this man who 
was also her agent and her 

116
00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:31,310
boyfriend at the same time, knew
how to control this woman. 

117
00:06:31,470 --> 00:06:33,590
He knew how to manipulate this 
woman. 

118
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:36,750
And really, they're just trapped
like pieces of meat for 

119
00:06:36,910 --> 00:06:39,830
financial gain. 
Here's another question for you.

120
00:06:39,870 --> 00:06:42,310
What were you like at 18 years 
old? 

121
00:06:42,630 --> 00:06:44,710
Do you not remember how dumb you
were? 

122
00:06:44,830 --> 00:06:48,830
If I can say that, how immature 
you were at 1819 twenty years 

123
00:06:48,830 --> 00:06:50,270
old? 
Perhaps I was the only one who 

124
00:06:50,270 --> 00:06:53,270
made stupid mistakes. 
And yet some of these women, 

125
00:06:53,310 --> 00:06:57,710
they sign their lives away at 
this tender young age, and once 

126
00:06:57,710 --> 00:07:01,070
they do it, once they make one 
of these movies, it really is a 

127
00:07:01,070 --> 00:07:03,590
point of no return. 
Some of these women, once they 

128
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:06,430
do it, they cannot work another 
job because the whole world has 

129
00:07:06,430 --> 00:07:08,550
seen these images. 
Their families, their friends 

130
00:07:08,550 --> 00:07:10,750
reject them. 
Their whole life is changed. 

131
00:07:10,750 --> 00:07:13,190
It's turned upside down by one 
decision. 

132
00:07:13,230 --> 00:07:15,670
So they have to stay in this 
industry. 

133
00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:18,110
And not only that, as we've just
said, some of these women were 

134
00:07:18,110 --> 00:07:22,510
so broken they were desperate 
for any kind of validation, any 

135
00:07:22,510 --> 00:07:24,870
kind of love. 
And then a handsome young man 

136
00:07:24,870 --> 00:07:28,110
tells them how beautiful they 
are and then convinces them to 

137
00:07:28,110 --> 00:07:30,830
work in this world. 
And then once they're in, 

138
00:07:30,950 --> 00:07:33,870
they're trapped. 
Until the day comes when after 

139
00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:36,710
they've been chewed up, spat 
out, when the world has taken 

140
00:07:36,710 --> 00:07:40,550
everything from them, they 
finally are left on the sidewalk

141
00:07:40,910 --> 00:07:43,390
because they've been traded for 
a younger model. 

142
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,080
Guys, I know I'm railroading you
right now and I don't mean to 

143
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,400
sound harsh, but I just do 
honestly believe we as a people 

144
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,280
have become heartless and it 
seems like it shifted even 

145
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,720
overnight. 
And I believe the Bible warned 

146
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,560
us of this. 
The scripture says, and because 

147
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,960
lawlessness will abound, the 
love of many will grow cold. 

148
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,440
I'm going to choose my words 
carefully now, but I do wonder 

149
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,480
how would Jesus Christ treat 
these women? 

150
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,160
You see, we see a very similar 
situation where a woman who had 

151
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,480
committed a very similar sin to 
these women we've been looking 

152
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,640
at previously. 
She was thrown in front of Jesus

153
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,400
Christ and all these men got 
around. 

154
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,760
All these judgmental, 
self-righteous men stood around 

155
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,360
this woman and they weren't 
ready to throw tweets or YouTube

156
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,600
comments at her. 
But rocks. 

157
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,960
If you already know the story, 
take everything into your mind 

158
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,640
and stop me if I say something 
wrong. 

159
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,920
So here we have these Uber 
religious men called Pharisees 

160
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,840
and they decide to place a trap 
for Jesus. 

161
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:53,000
Here they find this woman going 
behind her husband's back and 

162
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,080
going with another man. 
And this in itself feels rather 

163
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,360
suspect. 
I mean, how many times have you 

164
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,560
and I ever seen such a thing 
happen? 

165
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:04,520
And that makes you wonder 
firstly what happened to the 

166
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,280
man? 
And was this man the one who was

167
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,160
part of the scheme? 
But here was their trick 

168
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,600
question. 
The lore of Moses commands that 

169
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:19,360
we are to throw stones at her. 
So over to you, Jesus. 

170
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,240
What do you say? 
OK, so now Jesus was cornered. 

171
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,840
Now the tension was beginning to
rise. 

172
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:30,000
If Jesus said yes, yes, you must
throw stones at her. 

173
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,240
Well, suddenly this man who had 
captured the hearts of the 

174
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,440
people of Israel, this man who 
was known for his abounding 

175
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,400
love, would suddenly be seen as 
harsh and unapproachable. 

176
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,560
I mean, if Jesus, this Jesus 
man, if that's how he treats 

177
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:45,400
this woman, how will he treat 
me? 

178
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,000
Because I myself have committed 
a multitude of sins, the people 

179
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,880
would say. 
But if he says no, we should let

180
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,600
this woman off, well then it 
would appear that Christ would 

181
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,470
be contradicting the Old 
Testament. 

182
00:09:58,510 --> 00:10:01,270
He would be saying that I 
disagree with Scripture and then

183
00:10:01,270 --> 00:10:03,390
the Pharisees would pin him down
for that. 

184
00:10:03,430 --> 00:10:08,270
It was a lose lose situation 
except for this one thing they 

185
00:10:08,270 --> 00:10:11,830
had forgotten. 
You cannot pull a fast one over 

186
00:10:11,910 --> 00:10:15,990
on the ancient of days. 
You cannot trick the one who all

187
00:10:16,110 --> 00:10:21,110
knowledge and all wisdom springs
forth out of this one man, God 

188
00:10:21,110 --> 00:10:26,110
in a flesh, Jesus Christ. 
So how did Jesus get himself out

189
00:10:26,110 --> 00:10:30,230
of this sticky situation? 
Well, he began doodling in the 

190
00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:32,670
ground. 
Doodling. 

191
00:10:32,950 --> 00:10:36,870
How does doodling help anyone? 
Well, it all depends on what he 

192
00:10:36,870 --> 00:10:40,670
was writing in the ground and 
ultimately we don't know. 

193
00:10:40,670 --> 00:10:43,310
The scripture doesn't tell us 
and there are many different 

194
00:10:43,310 --> 00:10:45,750
ideas. 
For instance, my friend believes

195
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:49,470
that he was writing with his 
very finger scripture to stop 

196
00:10:49,470 --> 00:10:52,150
him from also falling into 
temptation. 

197
00:10:52,230 --> 00:10:55,870
But As for me, I stand with 
those who believe that Jeremiah 

198
00:10:55,870 --> 00:11:01,510
17, verse 13 gives us a very 
illuminating possibility. 

199
00:11:01,550 --> 00:11:04,950
It says, oh Lord, the hope of 
Israel. 

200
00:11:04,990 --> 00:11:08,190
All who forsake you shall be 
ashamed. 

201
00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:12,830
Those who depart from me shall 
be written in the earth, because

202
00:11:12,830 --> 00:11:16,550
they've forsaken the Lord, the 
Fountain of living waters. 

203
00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:18,670
Are you imagining this right 
now? 

204
00:11:18,790 --> 00:11:22,430
Here is the Lord of Lords and 
the King of Kings. 

205
00:11:22,510 --> 00:11:26,070
And here he Stoops down and 
starts to write something in the

206
00:11:26,070 --> 00:11:28,550
dust. 
He starts to write the names, 

207
00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:31,030
perhaps, of those who forsaken 
him. 

208
00:11:31,110 --> 00:11:34,590
Suppose he wrote things like 
Brandon Edwards, the 1st of 

209
00:11:34,590 --> 00:11:39,730
November, ran away with his 
neighbor's wife, Paul Jones on 

210
00:11:39,730 --> 00:11:43,850
the 1st of June, stole from his 
boss's company. 

211
00:11:43,890 --> 00:11:48,770
Derek Adams watched the very 
woman that he's condemning last 

212
00:11:48,770 --> 00:11:51,650
night and did things he should 
never do. 

213
00:11:51,730 --> 00:11:56,050
If that really happened, Can you
imagine the terrifying reality 

214
00:11:56,050 --> 00:11:59,450
that would fall on the Pharisees
on these men who had condemned 

215
00:11:59,450 --> 00:12:02,170
this man in front of them? 
They would see that this man, 

216
00:12:02,170 --> 00:12:05,250
perhaps he really is who he 
claims to be. 

217
00:12:05,250 --> 00:12:08,410
Perhaps this man who has seen 
right through its mind very 

218
00:12:08,410 --> 00:12:11,330
inner being. 
Perhaps this is really God in a 

219
00:12:11,330 --> 00:12:13,170
skin. 
And that finger which has just 

220
00:12:13,170 --> 00:12:16,810
written the dust was the same 
finger which wrote out the 10 

221
00:12:16,810 --> 00:12:20,210
commandments which condemned me.
Right now that same finger is 

222
00:12:20,210 --> 00:12:24,130
the finger which turned up that 
Belshazar party and wrote on the

223
00:12:24,130 --> 00:12:26,090
wall. 
You have been weighed in the 

224
00:12:26,090 --> 00:12:29,890
scales and found wanting. 
That same finger now comes for 

225
00:12:29,890 --> 00:12:33,170
them and hits the bullseye, hits
them straight between the eyes. 

226
00:12:33,170 --> 00:12:36,930
And they realized that they too 
are rotten sinners that deserve 

227
00:12:36,930 --> 00:12:39,810
nothing more than and total 
condemnation. 

228
00:12:39,890 --> 00:12:44,650
And so this one sentence was 
enough to empty the room 

229
00:12:44,690 --> 00:12:47,730
instantly. 
Jesus said, Let him who is 

230
00:12:47,730 --> 00:12:52,210
without sin cast the first 
stone, and with that, from the 

231
00:12:52,290 --> 00:12:56,090
oldest to the youngest. 
Suddenly these men realized that

232
00:12:56,090 --> 00:12:58,490
they had somewhere else that 
they needed to be. 

233
00:12:58,530 --> 00:13:01,490
Hey, now, this next bit is kind 
of important, so you might just 

234
00:13:01,490 --> 00:13:05,250
want to catch this. 
But here is Jesus and he's all 

235
00:13:05,250 --> 00:13:07,770
alone with this woman. 
The Pharisees have all 

236
00:13:07,770 --> 00:13:09,370
scattered. 
They know that they have no 

237
00:13:09,370 --> 00:13:12,850
right to throw even 1 grain of 
sand, let alone a rock. 

238
00:13:13,050 --> 00:13:16,650
But here's the crazy part. 
There was one who was without 

239
00:13:16,650 --> 00:13:19,010
sin. 
There was one who was qualified 

240
00:13:19,010 --> 00:13:21,370
for that title. 
There was one who he loved, the 

241
00:13:21,370 --> 00:13:24,930
Law of Moses, and would have 
been totally justified in 

242
00:13:24,930 --> 00:13:27,850
carrying it out. 
But he chose not to. 

243
00:13:28,490 --> 00:13:30,610
Why? 
I'll tell you why. 

244
00:13:30,650 --> 00:13:34,570
Because he knew there was a task
that he was about to complete. 

245
00:13:34,610 --> 00:13:38,490
He was going to die for this 
woman's sin and so freely he 

246
00:13:38,490 --> 00:13:41,810
could show her compassion. 
It would cost nothing to her to 

247
00:13:41,810 --> 00:13:44,970
be forgiven, but it would cost 
Jesus greatly. 

248
00:13:45,130 --> 00:13:48,770
Oh, what Jesus did that day for 
that woman was not passive in 

249
00:13:48,770 --> 00:13:52,410
the slightest. 
It cost Jesus greatly for him to

250
00:13:52,410 --> 00:13:54,690
forgive. 
That woman was not cheap, you 

251
00:13:54,690 --> 00:13:58,010
see on the cross. 
He paid for that woman's debt in

252
00:13:58,090 --> 00:14:01,010
all of its fullness. 
And Christ knew that he had 

253
00:14:01,010 --> 00:14:03,690
fulfilled the law perfectly down
to the letter. 

254
00:14:03,690 --> 00:14:06,170
And no one could tell him that 
he'd done anything wrong, 

255
00:14:06,210 --> 00:14:09,450
because he hadn't. 
So by showing compassion to this

256
00:14:09,450 --> 00:14:11,730
woman, he was not weakening the 
power of the law. 

257
00:14:11,970 --> 00:14:14,370
No. 
Rather, he was showing mankind 

258
00:14:14,370 --> 00:14:19,210
that no one can ever be saved by
keeping the law, and likewise, 

259
00:14:19,210 --> 00:14:22,770
no one can be saved without 
first realizing that they have 

260
00:14:22,770 --> 00:14:26,170
broken the law and that they 
need to come to the Lord Jesus 

261
00:14:26,170 --> 00:14:30,730
Christ for forgiveness. 
So here's my very simple 

262
00:14:30,730 --> 00:14:33,690
question. 
Have you been forgiven? 

263
00:14:33,850 --> 00:14:37,410
Has it ever occurred to you that
when Jesus Christ died on the 

264
00:14:37,410 --> 00:14:40,290
cross, he wasn't just dying for 
this woman who we've seen in 

265
00:14:40,290 --> 00:14:43,250
this story, but he was dying for
your sins. 

266
00:14:43,290 --> 00:14:47,410
All the sins of the world were 
transferred into Christ Jesus's 

267
00:14:47,450 --> 00:14:49,690
account. 
That means the woman who serves 

268
00:14:49,690 --> 00:14:52,330
you at Starbucks, Jesus, died 
for her. 

269
00:14:52,370 --> 00:14:55,370
That man who walks his dog in 
your street? 

270
00:14:55,570 --> 00:14:58,930
Jesus died for him. 
That person who washes your car 

271
00:14:58,930 --> 00:15:01,730
every month? 
Jesus Christ also died for him. 

272
00:15:01,770 --> 00:15:04,010
And your favorite teacher Jesus 
died for them. 

273
00:15:04,010 --> 00:15:06,490
Your aunt, your uncle Christ 
died for all. 

274
00:15:06,490 --> 00:15:09,970
The Lord Jesus Christ spilled 
his blood at Calvary. 

275
00:15:09,970 --> 00:15:11,770
There was a debt that was paid 
for. 

276
00:15:11,770 --> 00:15:16,250
The sins of the world were then 
cast on Jesus Christ and there 

277
00:15:16,250 --> 00:15:18,730
he died. 
There his blood was shed so that

278
00:15:18,850 --> 00:15:22,290
all of us can be forgiven if we 
come to the Lord Jesus Christ. 

279
00:15:22,290 --> 00:15:27,770
Man can be reunited with God if 
only will bow the knee and turn 

280
00:15:27,770 --> 00:15:30,850
to Christ. 
But sadly for most people, this 

281
00:15:30,850 --> 00:15:33,860
message goes in one ear and out 
the other. 

282
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:37,980
Most people, this salvation is 
nothing more than an unopened 

283
00:15:37,980 --> 00:15:39,700
gift. 
It's like a gift that has been 

284
00:15:39,700 --> 00:15:42,220
neatly wrapped. 
Forgiveness, eternal life, 

285
00:15:42,220 --> 00:15:44,140
salvation. 
All these wonderful things are 

286
00:15:44,140 --> 00:15:47,700
inside and yet it's been wrapped
up and put under the bed and 

287
00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:51,270
totally forgotten about. 
I wonder if that's you. 

288
00:15:51,470 --> 00:15:55,310
Have you come to the cross and 
had access to all of these 

289
00:15:55,310 --> 00:15:58,830
amazing things, knowing that you
have eternal life? 

290
00:15:58,870 --> 00:16:02,990
If you die right now, you have 
eternal life with the Lord Jesus

291
00:16:02,990 --> 00:16:05,630
Christ forever. 
All of your sins are forgotten. 

292
00:16:05,670 --> 00:16:08,190
Everything has been let off and 
done away with. 

293
00:16:08,390 --> 00:16:12,350
Or are you just going to reject 
this wonderful free gift of 

294
00:16:12,350 --> 00:16:16,830
salvation and then pay the 
ramifications for rejecting this

295
00:16:16,830 --> 00:16:18,910
gift? 
OK, back to our story. 

296
00:16:18,910 --> 00:16:22,350
After Jesus had got up and seen 
that all of the Pharisees had 

297
00:16:22,350 --> 00:16:26,550
scattered, he said this. 
Has no one condemned you? 

298
00:16:26,790 --> 00:16:30,150
She said. 
No one, Lord, And Jesus said to 

299
00:16:30,150 --> 00:16:35,750
her, neither do I condemn you. 
Go and sin no more. 

300
00:16:35,870 --> 00:16:39,940
Isn't that beautiful? 
That Jesus Christ is the God of 

301
00:16:39,940 --> 00:16:42,460
second chances? 
And not just second chances, 

302
00:16:42,460 --> 00:16:44,580
second, third, four, fifth 
chances. 

303
00:16:44,580 --> 00:16:49,380
We mess up so often and yet God 
keeps on forgiving us even 

304
00:16:49,380 --> 00:16:52,100
though we fail him. 
And I want you to know this, if 

305
00:16:52,100 --> 00:16:55,620
you come to the Lord Jesus 
Christ yesterday is in the past.

306
00:16:55,620 --> 00:16:58,740
It's forgotten. 
Is all Christ cares about is 

307
00:16:58,740 --> 00:17:00,820
today. 
And I wonder if I should say 

308
00:17:00,820 --> 00:17:03,740
this again. 
But that really is what upset me

309
00:17:03,740 --> 00:17:07,300
so much about the comments about
the things that were said in 

310
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:09,060
this video I've been referring 
to. 

311
00:17:09,060 --> 00:17:12,380
You see, I know there are 
Christians who watch that video 

312
00:17:12,380 --> 00:17:14,859
who have been forgiven of so 
many sins. 

313
00:17:14,940 --> 00:17:18,460
And yet here they were, pointing
the finger and casting down 

314
00:17:18,460 --> 00:17:21,660
judgment on these women who 
we've been talking about. 

315
00:17:21,819 --> 00:17:25,859
And I know, I know that many of 
us would never dream of doing 

316
00:17:25,859 --> 00:17:28,500
some of the shameful things that
these women have done. 

317
00:17:28,540 --> 00:17:32,020
But let's not forget that every 
single one of us has got 

318
00:17:32,020 --> 00:17:35,260
skeletons in our closet. 
Every single one of us has done 

319
00:17:35,260 --> 00:17:38,340
things that were totally 
embarrassed about, and perhaps 

320
00:17:38,380 --> 00:17:41,820
only God knows about it. 
So before we're looking at other

321
00:17:41,820 --> 00:17:44,780
people and picking holes in them
and seeing the dirt that's on 

322
00:17:44,780 --> 00:17:49,100
them, let's remember there's 
also dirt on us that perhaps 

323
00:17:49,100 --> 00:17:52,620
only the Lord sees. 
OK, complete the sentence. 

324
00:17:52,620 --> 00:17:56,460
And Jesus said to her, neither 
do I condemn you. 

325
00:17:56,620 --> 00:18:02,080
Go and sin no more. 
You see, we love the first part 

326
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,560
of this story. 
We quote this account all the 

327
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,560
time when we want to remember 
the compassion and the love of 

328
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,560
the Lord Jesus Christ, but we 
very often conveniently miss out

329
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:17,570
the end parts of the passage. 
Those words go and sin no more. 

330
00:18:17,610 --> 00:18:20,850
And I actually believe that this
passage is laid out in order for

331
00:18:20,850 --> 00:18:23,930
a reason. 
You see, Christ's first interest

332
00:18:23,970 --> 00:18:26,170
is that the woman would be 
forgiven. 

333
00:18:26,170 --> 00:18:30,290
His first priority is that the 
woman would first have mercy, 

334
00:18:30,370 --> 00:18:35,690
but then he demands repentance 
after we do not try to make 

335
00:18:35,690 --> 00:18:38,850
ourselves be a good boy or a 
good girl so that God would 

336
00:18:38,850 --> 00:18:40,170
accept us. 
No. 

337
00:18:40,210 --> 00:18:43,650
First of all, we come to the 
Lord Jesus Christ through the 

338
00:18:43,650 --> 00:18:46,890
cross and we ask for cleansing 
of forgiveness. 

339
00:18:47,050 --> 00:18:51,050
What must I do to be saved? 
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ

340
00:18:51,050 --> 00:18:54,210
and thou shalt be saved. 
It's really that simple. 

341
00:18:54,330 --> 00:18:56,650
But that doesn't give us 
permission to then take 

342
00:18:56,650 --> 00:19:00,050
advantage of God's gracious 
spirits and as the unbeliever 

343
00:19:00,050 --> 00:19:03,170
often says about us, go out and 
do whatever we like. 

344
00:19:03,250 --> 00:19:07,330
No, because after forgiveness 
has been found, then it's time 

345
00:19:07,530 --> 00:19:10,730
for repentance. 
Then it's time for change. 

346
00:19:10,890 --> 00:19:13,970
Know this. 
Jesus here is stating this 

347
00:19:13,970 --> 00:19:16,770
woman. 
Your sin has been noticed. 

348
00:19:16,970 --> 00:19:20,970
Your sin has been recorded. 
And by me forgiving you, that 

349
00:19:20,970 --> 00:19:22,930
doesn't mean I'm giving you a 
free pass. 

350
00:19:22,930 --> 00:19:25,250
It doesn't mean I'm giving you 
permission to return to this 

351
00:19:25,250 --> 00:19:28,810
same wickedness again. 
No, it's time for you now to 

352
00:19:28,810 --> 00:19:31,770
forsake this sin. 
Jehovah's desire is that the 

353
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:34,530
Sinner would turn from their sin
and live. 

354
00:19:34,610 --> 00:19:38,490
But always remember that Christ 
offers forgiveness first. 

355
00:19:38,490 --> 00:19:41,570
The mercy always comes first to 
the woman. 

356
00:19:41,610 --> 00:19:45,650
My friend, it's absolutely 
critical that you understand 

357
00:19:45,690 --> 00:19:50,250
that today Jesus, his work in 
this era that we are in right 

358
00:19:50,250 --> 00:19:54,930
now is to offer mercy, 
forgiveness, and reconciliation 

359
00:19:54,930 --> 00:19:57,930
to all sinners who will come to 
him in faith. 

360
00:19:58,090 --> 00:20:01,570
But tomorrow, tomorrow, in the 
next era that is coming, when 

361
00:20:01,570 --> 00:20:05,490
Christ comes again, his work 
will not be to forgive sinners, 

362
00:20:05,490 --> 00:20:08,130
but to judge sinners who 
rejected him. 

363
00:20:08,210 --> 00:20:13,130
The Bible says, for we must all 
appear before the judgment seat.

364
00:20:13,550 --> 00:20:17,750
Of Christ, so that each of us 
may receive what is due to us 

365
00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:22,430
for the things done while in the
body, whether good or bad. 

366
00:20:22,550 --> 00:20:26,950
All friends today Jesus Christ 
is a gentle lamb. 

367
00:20:26,950 --> 00:20:30,890
Tomorrow, when he returns, he'll
be a ferocious lion. 

368
00:20:30,930 --> 00:20:35,610
Today, Jesus Christ is a gentle,
tender savior. 

369
00:20:35,650 --> 00:20:39,050
But when he comes again 
tomorrow, he'll be a warrior 

370
00:20:39,210 --> 00:20:41,970
that no man would ever dare mess
with. 

371
00:20:42,170 --> 00:20:46,250
My dear friends, I've said it 
time and time again. 

372
00:20:46,250 --> 00:20:50,450
I've tried warning you. 
There will be a day when mercy 

373
00:20:50,570 --> 00:20:54,090
will be totally cut off. 
There'll be a day when the light

374
00:20:54,090 --> 00:20:59,050
of Christ is totally vanquished 
and darkness will rain. 

375
00:20:59,170 --> 00:21:02,090
And I'm telling you right now, 
night is coming. 

376
00:21:02,130 --> 00:21:05,010
There is a day that is coming 
when you will not be able to 

377
00:21:05,010 --> 00:21:08,010
find mercy. 
No matter how loudly you cry for

378
00:21:08,010 --> 00:21:12,650
it, it will never be found. 
And so today, whilst you can 

379
00:21:12,650 --> 00:21:16,890
come to the Lord Jesus Christ 
and find safety, protection and 

380
00:21:16,890 --> 00:21:20,450
eternal life in him alone, and 
if I've not been clear and you 

381
00:21:20,450 --> 00:21:23,530
don't know what this place is 
that I'm talking about, you 

382
00:21:23,530 --> 00:21:26,250
really do need to watch this 
video right now. 

383
00:21:26,330 --> 00:21:26,410
Now.
