A Woman Caught in Adultery
John 8: 1 - 11
Is there a sin in your life which labels you? What is the fallout of this siituation?
Leviticus 20 (What the Law says about adultery)
Should be stoned
Shouldn't be stoned
This was a political attack against Jesus. They hoped that whatever He answered, they could use His comments against Him.
If any one of you is without sin, let him throw a stone at her.
Jesus didn't condemn the woman, but neither did He ignore or condone her sin.
He told her to leave her life of sin. Jesus stands ready to forgive any sin in your life, but confession and repentance mean a change of heart.
Adultery - many reasons that it may be occurring.
For whatever reason she entered into that relationship, she found herself trapped.
Sin always entraps.
She needed Jesus to free her from that situation.
Jesus set people free from their limitations.
Repentance - agreeing with God about our sin.
We can be defined by our repentance.
Romans 8:1
Do you define yourself by your sin and failure, do you allow yourself to be defined by God's grace to you?
