The Question That Changed Everything

What this episode covers

The Question That Changed EverythingJohn 8:2-11A small little boy waited until his mother left the kitchen when he snuck in and stood before the plate of fresh-baked cookies. Her earlier admonishment echoed in his head, “No cookies before dinner.” But as he gazed at the cookies and smelled their sweet scent, her voice grew faint and he reached out and grabbed a cookie. One wasn’t enough however, and soon he found that he had eaten all but one cookie. He panicked and heard his mother walking back to the kitchen. Before he could hide the evidence, she walked in.For most of us, our mind fills in the rest of the story with the little boy receiving some sort of consequence because of his disobedience. But how would we feel if his mother hugged him and told him not to do it again? Tomorrow morning we will hear how Jesus handles a delicate situation with mercy and justice.
