A
runs girl is a slang used to refer to a female who usually have sex
with different men for money and other benefits. In other words, they
are harlots or prostitutes.
Now,
prostitution didn't start today. In fact, from ancient times (many
centuries ago) there have been different women in different parts of
history that can be rightly regarded as runs girls.
Now,
when the LORD JESUS was going about His ministry on earth thousands of
years ago, a prostitute (a runs girl) encountered Him. In fact, she
encountered Him at a point in time when she was at the verge of being
killed for her immoral lifestyle.
"But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" They
were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for
accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground
with his finger. When
they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let
any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at
her." Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At
this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones
first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin." John 8:1-11
Rather
than Jesus Christ condemning her to death, He saved her from death! He
encouraged her to stop living a life of sin, because the wages of sin is
death.
Indeed, a life of
sin brings about separation between a human and God. A human living outside
of God is akin to a fish that's making attempt to live outside the
water. Such will die, right?
Today, I don't care how deep you have gone in whatever type of sin. Jesus is not condemning you, but He is ready to save you.
It
doesn't matter if people have seen you as a worthless runs girl, yahoo
boy, kidnapper, etc. Jesus is here to save you. All you have to do is to
repent, and then embrace Him as Lord and Savior.
There was another woman famously tagged a prostitute. Her
name is Mary Magdalene. But when she encountered Jesus, her life
changed. After submitting to Jesus' Lordship, she became a great tool in
the hands of God. She was part of those who financially supported Jesus
and the disciples (Luke 8:1-3). She witnessed Jesus' death and was even
the very first person to see Him resurrected (John 20:11-18). She was
even likely part of those that were baptized with the Holy Ghost in the
upper room after Jesus ascended (Acts 1:14, Acts 2)
See
how God changed her life? God is going to change your life too. You
only have to repent of whatever sin you still indulge in, and submit to
Him. He will make you an eternal champion and you will experience true fulfillment and joy, as He empowers you with His Holy Spirit.
Tell JESUS to have mercy on you right now, and embrace Him as your Lord and Saviour.
