“Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son (Jesus) makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”
The Pharisees (Teachers of the Law) brought a woman caught in adultery to Jesus and tested Jesus on the written laws of Moses:
So when they (Pharisees) continued asking Him (Jesus), He raised Himself up and said to them,
“He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.”
And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.
Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her,
“Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”
She said, “No one, Lord.”
And Jesus said to her,
“Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying,
“I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
The Pharisees (the ones who understood all the Laws of Moses) tried to test Jesus on the Laws of Moses.
Jesus was the Word of God, the Creator of the Universe, the One who had given all the Laws to Moses.
The Pharisees felt guilty, they dare not throw stone at the woman because they are equally sinful just as the woman caught in adultery.
And why they only brought the woman to see Jesus? Why they did not also brought the man who are with the woman in adultery?
They always bullied the weaker sex gender, the woman.
Only Jesus know how to respect woman because woman was created by Jesus (the Word of God) in the garden of Eden.
The Word of God (Jesus) created Adam and later made Adam to have deep sleep and take out a rib from Adam and He created the beautiful woman Eve for Adam.
God respect woman and He understand woman very well because He personally created the woman.
It was also the woman who visited Jesus’ tomb first and saw Jesus being resurrected first.
Woman care about her Lord Jesus more than man and did not care about the Roman authority and Lord Jesus most understand about woman’s emotions because He made woman to understand God’s love and emotions better.
So Jesus asked the woman to inform His disciples about His Resurrection as all His disciples were hiding and were fearful of the Roman government.
But Jesus want man (His disciples) to be the leaders of His church and Jesus respected His own creation - man to be the leaders because man was created first, was made stronger physically and able to lead more than woman by God.
God want man to be the leader of the family, the leader of His church, the leader of the country. Unless there is no qualified man to be leader, then God allows woman to be leader eg Deborah mentioned in the book of Judges because there was no good quality of man in leadership at that time in Israel.
God want woman to be supporter of her man, both man and woman are of equal importance to God. But each have different roles to play in the matter of families, in the matter of church services, in the matter of work places and in the matter of the governments.
God has orderly manner and control in all His Creation and He knows what He is doing.
Man messed up the whole creation of God because they listened to Satan’s voices instead of God’s words.
Scripture Reading:
Jesus was the Eternal Word of God.
“In the beginning was the Word (道), and the Word was with God (Father 天父) and the Word was God (道是上帝)
He was in the beginning with God (天父上帝)
All things were made through Him (Word 道), and without Him (Word 道) nothing was made that was made.
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.”
“And the Word became flesh (Son of Man, Jesus, human) and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
The rapture of the church before the Great Tribulation, by Apostle Paul: Our Final Victory
“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
Behold, I tell you a mystery:
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed -
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
We were saved by Grace through Faith

Jesus is the Light of the world
Jesus answered them (the Jews),
“Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son (Jesus) makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”

“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
Behold, I tell you a mystery:
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed -
in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
Jesus taught His disciples His Truth:
Matthew 12:46-50 NKJV.
https://www.bible.com/114/mat.12.46-50.nkjv
While He (Jesus) was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him.
Then one said to Him,
“Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.”
But He answered and said to the one who told Him,
“Who is My mother and who are My brothers?”
And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said,
“Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
Christians need to read Romans 11 on the Salvation of Israel - Israel is the elect of God’s promise.
Christians are saved by faith and grace of God and through the Holy Spirit in them, produce good works.
Good works done carnally (in human flesh) are not accepted by God.
