John 8:12-36
You judge according to the flesh… (v. 15a) I’m wondering about Jesus’ words for today’s society. I’m thinking of the context of same-sex relationships and “transgender” issues. I think of what Jesus might say to people today who support and affirm same-sex and transgender issues, “You are looking at these issues from a very worldly perspective. But I was there at creation and at every conception since time began. We three created man (and woman), each and every human creature in Our image and ordained the institution of marriage. Who are you to change that? Your worldly wisdom is flawed.”
In truth, I don’t know at all what Jesus would be saying about these issues. I know my own perspective and my following of historic, traditional Christian teaching. I could well be wrong; if so, I pray that God will enlighten me.
