"The Woman Caught in Adultery"

Send us a text

Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you.” (John 7:53 – 8:11)

Don’t let the familiarity of this story make you think it’s not important. It is heavy laden with truths about God in the New Covenant. They brought before Him a woman who was caught in the very act of committing adultery. She was caught sinning, breaking God’s holy law. The Law of Moses, which is the law of God, is very clear: “The men of her city shall stone her to death with stones.” (Deut.20:10) By the way, the man was to be stoned also; but they never brought the guilty man to Jesus. Didn’t need to because they were only concerned with one thing – “testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him.” (Jn.8:6) They were laser focused on getting rid of Him and no better way to do that than find Him in opposition to the Law of Moses. They had the perfect case. If He just forgave her and let her go He would be throwing aside the Law of Moses. If He was the first to throw a stone, how could He justify His teachings on forgiveness, mercy and grace? They had Him between a rock and a hard place. No way out… they thought.
