THEME: GOD’S MERCY
John 8:3-11 NKJV
“Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?” This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
INSIGHT
–The story of the woman caught in adultery is a true testament that Jesus is rich in mercy and love. When the religious leaders, the Scribes and Pharisees brought her with the intention of convicting her to murder by the laws of Moses, Jesus applied the law of love implying that the one who has no sin should cast the first stone. 1 John 1:8-9 reminds us that, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” We are called to acknowledge that we are sinners and when we repent, our God is merciful and loving to forgive us from all our iniquities.
PRAYER
We give thanks to You Lord our God, for You are good, and Your mercies endures forever. We cry out to You Lord in our trouble confidently that You will deliver us out of our distresses. We give thanks to You Lord for Your goodness and wonderful works to the children of men. Lord You satisfy the longing soul and fill the hungry soul with goodness, Your mercies endures forever. May You forgive us and cleanse us with Your precious blood dear Jesus. May You transform us and help us to look to You in all things for You are the Author and Finisher of our faith. We pray this believing and trusting in Jesus mighty name. Amen
