THE WOMAN WITH, MULTIPLE SIN DISORDERS OR (MSD)

”.…Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned….” John 8:2-11

“Who was this women caught in Adultery, The bible only refers to her as “a woman” most New Testament scholars believe this woman was the same as Mary Magdalene and Mary of Bethany. First  some history on Ms. Magdalene. She traveled with Jesus as one of His followers.

The Gospel describes her as courageous, and brave enough to stand by Jesus in his hours of suffering, death and resurrection. Jesus also cleansed her of “seven demons”, Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.” Mark 16:9

Next we have Mary of Bethany, the sister of Martha and Lazarus who Christ raised from the dead “Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair. John 11:1-2

So Today my friends I am going to use my creative license and say The ladies are one in the same and I will let you do your own research. But what I need each of you to focus on today is your life as you go back and take a detailed inventory on how many times you refused to die daily through Christ, but allowed the forces of evil to dictate to you what His world deems as right or wrong.

To most of us we only have to go back as far as the dinner table after church where the gossip out of our mouths was flying from one end of the table to the next, or maybe just yesterday when you bought that bootleg DVD from the man in front of the store where you go to waste God’s money buying lottery tickets, or maybe it was last night when you got home from work, and spent a relaxing evening in front of the TV wasting God’s time watching any and everything but never opening your bible once.

My friends I can go forever naming minor offences that we don’t really consider sin, but my friends they are sin, and they are deplorable in the sight of God. “and the wages of sin is still death.”

In today’s society the line between Good and evil has been so blurred to the point where most Christians don’t recognized MULTIPLE SIN DISORDERS OR (MSD) because everyone does it, so it must be right Isaiah tells us in Is. 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”

THE WOMAN WITH, MULTIPLE SIN DISORDERS OR (MSD) Christ gave her mercy when he told her to “sin no more.” And still seven times she had allowed Satan to pull her back to where God had saved her from. But she never stop dying daily to self, she never stop searching for the master as she allowed the transforming power of God’s spirit to eventually take full control.

Mary Magdalene stayed behind after going to the tomb and finding Jesus was not there, even when Peter and John left the tomb because She wanted to find out what had happened to Jesus. So she waited, only a touch she lone for, and because of her faithfulness she was the first to see Jesus alive, because she never stop searching, never given up, never getting tired, so she endured till the end, as she focused on her goal which was to find Jesus and she did.

Jesus rewards all who seek with sincerity of heart through His Spirit especially those WITH, MULTIPLE SIN DISORDERS OR (MSD) Jesus could have appeared to any one He choose but he choose a social outcast a demon possessed prostitute who was “saved by grace” to be the first to see his face after his resurrection. Oh what a honor. My friends our Savior came to seek and save the lost, and if He can save “a woman”/ Mary Magdalene /Mary of Bethany” of MULTIPLE SIN DISORDERS OR (MSD) He can also save you and I.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
