An interesting observation I’ve made. Goes back to the men who were about to stone the woman found in adultery. To stone her to death.
How many tines have you gone to Confession, and Absolution was given to seal Christ’s Mercy upon your soul?
Were the sins so meritorious which you would’ve been stoned as the men who found the adulterous women? Someone might try to regard to Deuteronomy, Which is not absurd. However, Christ held the Levitical Law at higher regard than the Second Law. Because, Salvation postures Justice of higher regard than the Second Laws. Which means, Mercy.
How many times have you been judgemental of a sinner which you feel either the equivalent or like punishment of being stoned to death ought to have been brought about?
And, what sins have you committed that would have warranted punishment, but received Mercy instead?
Consider, you run a red light. But never got caught. You might say, "Well, it wasn’t serious.) But, actually it was. You violate the laws of the public good. And, well, you could’ve hit someone. And, they could had been killed or injured.
Have you ever stolen? But never got caught?
Now, having taken that to Confession. Did Jesus not cover your sins? Just as He said to the woman found in adultery: “Sin no more.”
I believe that people generally do is look at their sins with less scrutiny. But, if they fell and committed a sin as worse as, or worse than those whom they’re ready to see stoned, so-to-speak. Would that change their mind?
It would be best benefit to every person to go to Confession, and take account of their sins which they’eve been forgiven. Not as a reminder to dismiss or reject Christ’s Mercy given. But to know that through Christ’s Mercy, they were saved. Not just from Hell at that particular moment. But, even from temporal punishments of this world.
I’m addressing that people are sinners. Christ’s Mercy isn’t just for the afterlife, it is for the here and now. For He would not had said: “the gates of Hell shall not prevail” against the Church.
The point is, even temporal punishment is the sign and sense of Hell. Because, though it is temporal here. Hell, the punishment is for eternal.
God’s punishment is always out of love. However, He does not will a soul to be eternally punished, but to have new life.
This doesn’t mitigate the need for Justice. It means, that Justice is fulfilled through Mercy. Just as the Levitical law exceeds more so than Deuteronomy. The temporal punishments actually do not fulfill Justice. Mercy does.
Christ could forgo every sinner/criminal of punishment if He wished. He thus did so for Saint Peter. Who slit the ear of the priest servant. That was actual assault, if anyone didn’t catch it. The priest servant did not attack Christ. But Saint Peter attacked the priest servant. Which Christ said to Saint Peter those who live by the word, also perish by it. Thus, temporal punishments leading to one’s death. You could even draw upon the same by saying those who live by stoning, also perish by stoning. All for Justice. Jesus healed the ear of the priest servant, and Saint Peter forgone temporal punishment. Christ covered for him.
That is Confession.
