Jesus Never Gives up on us

We may have experienced grief and failures in this life, due to our lack of understanding the world around us and God's will for our life. But Jesus never quit on insisting us to believe in him.

Sometimes sin we think will not cause any problem, we think we are safe skating on the surface of the ice, but we never know when it will break and we will get into it. Pride for example is one such thing, we will never know how proud we are, until God reveals it to us in different ways for us to realize.

The Healing at Bethesda

5 After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in [a]Hebrew[b]Bethesda, having five porticoes. 3 In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, and withered, [[c]waiting for the moving of the waters; 4 for an angel of the Lord went down at certain seasons into the pool and stirred up the water; whoever then first, after the stirring up of the water, stepped in was made well from whatever disease with which he was afflicted.] 5 A man was there who had been [d]ill for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He *said to him, “Do you wish to get well?” 7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” 8 Jesus *said to him, “Get up, pick up your pallet and walk.” 9 Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk.

Now it was the Sabbath on that day. 10 So the Jews were saying to the man who was cured, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not permissible for you to carry your pallet.” 11 But he answered them, “He who made me well was the one who said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.’”12 They asked him, “Who is the man who said to you, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk’?” 13 But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while there was a crowd in that place. 14 Afterward Jesus *found him in the temple and said to him,“Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you.” 15 The man went away, and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.16 For this reason the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But He answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working.” 

Jesus never gave up on this man,  When it was his 38th Year in his suffering. When there was no one to help him to put him into the pool when the water is stirred up. When another steps down before him. When it was Sabbath. When this man missed the opportunity every time.

Giving up on Sinful nature is very critical in a Christian life:
The true repentance of Sin is not confessing and receiving the reward as a suffering or wounding or any kind of sacrifice. Many a times we try to do it our own way and think our sins are forgiven, but we again may get into the same sin. True repentance is believing in Jesus, as Jesus took our sins and washed us clean through his blood, through the death at the cross and resurrection. It was not only his death at the cross, but also the resurrection, because we live not only by our power and strength, but by his resurrection power. When we understand that our life that which we are living is a gift from God, that by our sins we would have be dead, though we were to be condemned to death, he took our sins and redeemed us. The communion that he offers giving us his body and blood, for remembrance that we are not anymore bound by any sin or evil. Giving us access to the heavenly Father.

If we were to truly repented from our sins, we will never do the same sin again and again, if we were to do the same sin again and again, its not a true repentance of sin.

Luke 24:47  (ESV)
and that repentance and[a] forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 

John 8:1-11New American Standard Bible (NASB)

The Adulterous Woman

8 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them.3 The scribes and the Pharisees *brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, 4 they *said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?” 6 They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. 7 But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. 10 Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” 11 She said, “No one, [a]Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more.”]

Jesus never gave up on this woman who was caught in adultery. When everyone wanted to kill her(Stone her to death), When everyone thought they were right, When everyone wanted to condemn her for her sins.
