Bible Text:
John 8:1-11 KJV
1 Jesus went unto the mount of
Olives.
2 And early in the morning He came
again into the temple, and all the people came unto Him; and He sat
down, and taught them.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees
brought unto Him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her
in the midst,
4 They say unto Him, Master, this
woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us,
that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting Him, that
they might have to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down, and with His
finger wrote on the ground, as though He heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking Him,
He lifted up Himself, and said unto them, he that is without sin
among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again He stooped down, and
wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being
convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at
the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the
woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up Himself,
and saw none but the woman, He said unto her, Woman, where are those
thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus
said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Leviticus 20:10 KJV (Leviticus 21:9/
Deuteronomy 22:22,23/ Ezekiel 16:38,40)
And the man that committeth adultery
with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his
neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put
to death.
4 They say unto Him, Master, this
woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded
us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting Him,
that they might have to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down, and with
His finger wrote on the ground, as though He heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking
Him, He lifted up Himself, and said unto them, he that is without sin
among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Jesus never said
that adultery was not sin, what He did do, was to write upon the
ground, and say,
he that is without sin among you,
let him first cast a stone at her.
What did Jesus
write on the ground....many think He wrote things like...
Isaiah 53:6 KJV
All we like
sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and
The Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 55:7 KJV
Let
the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and
let him return unto
The
Lord, and He will have mercy
upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
Matthew 4:7 KJV
Jesus said unto him (The
Devil), It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord
thy God.
Matthew 5:28 KJV
But I say unto you, That whosoever
looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her
already in his heart.
The Scribes and
Pharisees knew that they themselves were not without sin. From the
oldest to the youngest, they all left Jesus alone with the woman.
In her shame and
sorrow, Jesus seeing her heart “said
unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go,
and sin no more.”
Jesus condemned her sin, but loved her as an individual.
See also the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well (John
4:3-42).
Did this encounter mean that Jesus never condemned individuals,
hardly!
In Matthew 23rd chapter Jesus condemned the Scribes and
Pharisees, calling them.....
Hypocrites
Blind Fools
Children Of Hell
Serpents and
Vipers.
Jesus was always loving and kind, and because He was, it was His duty
to warn the wicked!
Ezekiel 3:17-21
KJV
17 Son of
man, I have made thee a watchman...therefore hear the word at My
mouth, and give them warning from Me.
18 When I say
unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not
warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save
his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his
blood will I require at thine hand.
19 Yet if thou
warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his
wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy
soul.
20 Again, When
a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit
iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die:
because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and
his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his
blood will I require at thine hand.
21 Nevertheless
if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he
doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou
hast delivered thy soul.
Dear Christian watchman, be very sure your evangelism is tempered
with mercy and divine love!
Romans 13:12 KJV
The night is
far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of
darkness, and let us put on the armor of Light.
II Corinthians
6:14-18 KJV
14 Be ye not unequally yoked
together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness
with unrighteousness? and what communion hath Light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with
Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the
temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of The Living God; as
God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be
their God, and they shall be My people.
17 Wherefore come out from among
them, and be ye separate, saith The Lord, and touch not the unclean
thing; and I will receive you.
18 And will be a Father unto you,
and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith The Lord Almighty.
