Ashley Madison, the site that brazenly promoted a discreet way to have an affair, announced they were hacked yesterday. Info on 37 million people was stolen. 37,000,000!
As a Christian, it’s easy to spout that what’s done in secret will come to light, get on the high horse and cast stones at the adulterers. But why is this the immediate reaction?
A pastor I respected said of the breach, “I know hacking is wrong, but this is awesome.”
Awesome?
I think that’s how Jesus responded when the woman caught in adultery was brought to him: “I know the circumstances you were caught in were shady- for instance, it takes two to commit adultery, but forget that. This is awesome.”
The big picture here is that 37 million people signed up for the website to cheat, but we are going to celebrate they got caught. That’s showing Christ’s love.
