Modern Mary Magdalene

While driving home from my christmas ventures, I had an idea for a skit of sorts. What if the story of Jesus saving the woman who was about to be stoned for prostitution (thought to possibly be Mary Magdalene) was modernized? I know it's been done, but I was thinking of a twist that would make a lot of churches angry... but it's truth. Here it goes:

A woman of the night was cornered by several people witnessing that night. They were telling her of her sins... she was painfully aware of her sins. They were telling her she was going to hell. She was already in hell. They told her what a wicked person she was... and that Jesus could save her. How could someone save her that was burying her deeper in her shame?

A passerby saw the commotion. Stopped to listen. He didn't say a word for a long time, but somehow the woman drew comfort from his presence. The accusers were uneasy. Who was he? Why didn't he say something? Finally... after a long interval, in a quiet voice, forcing silence, he asked them, "Why are you accusing this woman?". They began another string of accusations toward the woman. The next question went something like this, "Why don't you try saving yourselves?" With piercing eyes... it was as though he could see the sins of the accusers as they were paraded on the stages of each individual mind. The replies came in pieces, and tapered off into the night. "Jesus saved me... I don't have to save myself... I am righteous by the blood..." etc. and on it went. Finally a statement from the man that caused the witnessing crowd to drop their heads and discontinue their pursuit, "If Jesus saved you, why don't you let Jesus save this woman too." It took a moment to sink in... they questioned what it meant, but he would not speak to them any longer. He turned to the woman and said, "You are free to go." He handed her a card. "You know... you don't have to live like this." The woman hurried down the road, disappearing around a corner. She felt a strange sense of hope. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.

Happy New Year to all.
