MP3•Epizód kép

The opening of John 8 is one of the most dramatic confrontations in the Gospels. A woman is caught in adultery - note, the sexism of the time excuses the partner - and according to the law of the time the woman should be killed. In typical Jesus style, Jesus confronts the crows and saves the life of the woman. For Jesus, forgiveness is more powerful than rules and it is forgiveness that Jesus offers her in this story.

Extra Mile: Give this some thought. John 8:11 is a powerful verse - Jesus tells the woman in the story to change her her life. Forgiveness is never an invitation to keep living a life of sin. I wonder how she did? Jesus wants us to change for the better, and forgiveness is a chance to do so. I wonder if the woman needed a third or fourth chance if Jesus would forgive? What do you think?

Scripture: John 8:2-11
