At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he saw down to teach them.
The teacher of the law and Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to jesus, made her stand before the group and said to Jesus,
"Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?!"
... but Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finder.
When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them,
"If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her"
... Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time ...
the older ones first ...
until only Jesus was left ...
with the woman still standing there.
Jesus straightened up and asked her,
"Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
"No one, sir," She said.
"Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared.
"Go now and leave your life of sin."
This is the forgiving Grace of God ... Repent ... and leave your sins ... embrace the freedom in Christ that you have never experienced before.
