Joh_8:9 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.
The men were being
convicted by their OWN CONSCIENCE. Jesus
had done this…
Joh 8:6 … But
Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard
them not.
Joh 8:7 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.
Joh 8:8 And
again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
Jesus said to
them- HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN AMONG YOU
LET HIM FIRST CAST A STONE AT HER.
And they HEARD Him,
they heard His words of truth and they were CONVICTED by their own conscience.
Their conscience had them feeling the weight of their own guilt. They acted on
that conscience conviction and left off killing the adulterous woman.
Act_23:1 And
Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in
all good conscience before God until this day.
Act_24:16 And
herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward
God, and toward men
Paul lived in GOOD
CONSCIENCE before God.
Paul exercised
himself to ALWAYS have a CONSCIENCE VOID of OFFENCE towards God and men.
When Watchman Nee
talks about our conscience he is not talking about something that isn't
Biblical, it's very Biblical and we need to study and pray that we learn what
we need to learn. Please, Holy Spirit, bless us with understanding, guide us
all through the love, the mercy, the grace of our Savior- Jesus Christ!
'If we live by what
conscience teaches we have arrived at the place we should be for the present
moment. It is therefore a prime factor in our daily walk after the spirit. In
whatever matter we disobey the dictate of our conscience we shall be reprimanded
by it. As a result we shall lose peace and shall be cut off temporarily from
having fellowship with God. ' The
Spiritual Man - By Watchman Nee
