Fate

I walked into our home to the sound of moaning and it was quite a shocking to find my woman doing the deed with another man. Oh, I was mad.

"How dare you defile yourself in our house!"

"Husband it isn't what you think I can explain!" My wife tries to cover herself with her hands.

"No need to explain!" My eyes were red with angry tears streaming forth. I grabbed my nude wife, and my brother dragging them to the Temple Courtyard.

"Dear Elders please cast judgment on this wretched woman and my bastard half brother. As you can see as her husband, I found her engaged in promiscuous behavior."

"Please spare me!"

"No, those who are caught in Sin are to be condemned by stoning to the very death", all the Elders chanted.

"Please SPARE ME!"

A man by the name of Jesus happened to be teaching the Scribes and Pharisees at that time. The Scribes and Pharisees didn't have good blood for his teachings. They started to get restless and whispers started to spread from one corner to the next. "The whore was caught in adultery. Let's find the perfect opportunity to trap Jesus with his own words." Like a slow wave, the Pharisees and Scribes signalled with their secret handshake. One sly man who had slept with the woman suddenly pushed her. She screamed in terror and saw the ground rush toward her face. Before she hit the ground the Fourth caught her in His arms.

"Are you alright?"

"No I am not okay" she started to tremble uncontrollably and cry. Terror was written all over her countenance and her eyes pleaded with Him to save her from her Fate.

"Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of committing adultery. What should we do with her? Moses told us that such a person should be stoned to death."

He looks to the crowd and then at both the Pharisees and the Scribes. They want to stop my Father's work from saving Souls. He pondered for a brief moment then an idea comes to His mind. He then bended to the earth and started to point out their past mistakes.

After writing for a long period of time, the Fourth stood up. "Anyone of you who has never sinned, let him throw the first stone." Then He bent down and started writing on the ground again. This time the leaders saw traced before them their own secret sins and their part in trapping the woman. Convicted and dismayed, they slowly left. After standing up again He looked deep into the woman's tear streaked eyes. "Where are all those who were accusing you? It looks like they are no more. There's no one here to condemn you."

"Indeed Lord you are right. They are gone."

"I condemn you not. I've forgiven you. Please go and leave your life of Sin."

"Thank you Sir you are the first to believe in me and I will not disappoint you."
