Priceless

A woman's virtue is valued above rubies...Proverbs 31:10

I love the scripture story about Jesus' love and compassion for the woman taken in adultery.

The scribes and Pharisees brought this woman before Jesus so that they might entrap Him.

“But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

“So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

“And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

“And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

“When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

“She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more” John 8:6–11

In today's world, we can all benefit from the empowering influence of the Savior Jesus Christ and utilize the Atonement to come unto him...all of us.

He is our greatest advocate. How does that make you feel?
