     | 2,468 views

    There are a lot of people that live under this same heavy burden. But the good news that I share with each of these persons is the same good news that is available to everyone. Jesus came to forgive and to give grace to all who will trust in Him.

    If you were here for our service last Wednesday evening, you know that we studied the same passage that I'm looking at this morning. The passage comes from the Gospel of John 8: 2-11.
