The Testing of the Lord

1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry. 3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” 4 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’ ” 5 And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, 6 and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. 7 If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” 8 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, “ ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’ ” 9 And he took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, 10 for it is written, “ ‘He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you,’ 11 and “ ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.’ ” 12 And Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ” 13 And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.

Jesus cites Deuteronomy 6:16 in his rebuke of the Devil of his third temptation.

I begin here to set the stage for our text for today.

Humanity, in our arrogant foolishness, is constantly testing God, trying him.

Testing God is a lack of faith. It’s blasphemy for the created to demand that the Creator prove Himself to be worthy of our trust. True faith is not testing God, but trusting God, knowing that He is not obligated to prove His power and love at every turn.

Randy Smith - Overcoming the Devil’s Best, Luke 4:1-13.

In today’s text of John 7:53-8:11, we are going to see one example of that testing. But we will consider it from two angles. We will see that there is both a negative and a positive way to test God.

John 7:53-8:11.

John 7:53–8:11 ESV

53 They went each to his own house, 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst 4 they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” 6 This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”

A Text Out of Place

John 7:53-8:11.

This text, while little contest it’s authenticity and accuracy, is a text out of place.

It is generally agreed that this text was not originally placed HERE in scripture. The earliest and most reliable manuscripts we possess do not contain this section.

It does not begin to show up until much later in the manuscripts. Even then, it shows up in the text with asterisks and there was question of it’s authenticity (at one point).

The texts that we do have that contain this passage “display a rather high frequency of textual variants” (DA Carson).

The style does not seem particularly Johannine but displays expressions and characteristics that do not show up anywhere else in John.

It is most often thought to belong in Luke following Luke 21:38.

The sequence of Luke 21 is as follows....

The widow offers her gift to two small copper coins, all she has to live on.

Jesus foretells the destruction of Temple

Jesus forewarns about the coming wars and persecutions.

Jesus foretells the destruction of Jerusalem

Jesus foretells the coming of the Son of Man in the clouds

He tells the parable of the fig tree.

Let’s read the rest from there...

Luke 21:34-38.

Luke 21:34–38 ESV

34 “But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. 35 For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.” 37 And every day he was teaching in the temple, but at night he went out and lodged on the mount called Olivet. 38 And early in the morning all the people came to him in the temple to hear him.

Jesus was preparing them for what is to come, teaching and instructing them.

Chapter 22 goes on to detail the Feast of the Unleavened bread and the plot that unfolds to kill Jesus. It will detail Judas’ betrayal. His death is VERY forthcoming.

It is in between that many believe this little narrative belongs.

Regardless, it is here in John but really is a text out of place and really interrupts the flow, as we will see next week when we return to verse 12.

That being said…let’s take time to step aside and address this little exchange.

Big Idea: Those who test the Lord will find only judgement. Those who trust the Lord find grace.

The Test of Jesus

John 8:3-6.

John 8:3–6 ESV

Regardless of whether it happens in Luke’s account or John’s, it follows a period of teaching, dialogue and ministry.

They went their homes

The religious leaders and all those who had been listening to him teach.

Jesus goes to the Mount of Olives

This is where Christ loves to go to.

Bethany and Bethpage are close by

There is an olive grove here that people often slept at while traveling to the city.

Jesus would be arrested here.

He would ascend back to heaven from here.

In many ways, this was a home spot for him while on earth.

And they seem to reconvene in the morning.

This would seem to be the morning AFTER the last day of the feast.

He sat down as he taught them. This seated position was a designation of authority.

It was here that the religious leaders brought to him a test.

It is important at this juncture to understand something.

What does this word, “test” mean? When it says they wanted to “test” him, what is that implying?

There are TWO ways to understanding this “TEST” that they bring to Christ.

Simply, the word implies to test, to try, to prove. It is often used in reference to testing one’s heart. To determine the strength, resolve, and fortitude of a thing.

This can go one of two ways....Negatively or positively.

Negatively

Disregard it (authority, truth, instruction, etc) and thereby TEST how it will respond to the disregard.

It is in this train of thought that we get the idea of “Testing one’s patience”

To test with a disdain and scorn, choosing one’s own way and choosing to disregard everything but your own way.

To put one to the test in such a way as to disbelieve their word, reject their word, despise their word, and do whatever we want regardless, thus testing whether the warned consequence would come true.

In this sense, despite the warnings of negative consequence, we continue to do what we want and thus TEST the authenticity of the warning.

This is driven by a heart of pride, self-righteousness, and self-sufficiency.

Positively

To trust and obey it (authority, truth, instruction, etc) and thereby TEST whether it will keep its word or not.

To test it with a heart of faith, putting your confidence in it and believing that the good promises will come pass.

For instance, we trust the word and promise given to us and test whether or not the promise will be carried out.

This is driven by a heart of humility, faith, submission, and trust.

To test is to determine the validity and authenticity of a thing. We can do this with a heart of trust or a heart of pride.

The two have a very different outcomes as we will see in this narrative. There is the test unto judgment and the test unto grace.

The Test Unto Judgment

John 8:3-9.

John 8:3–9 ESV

3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst 4 they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” 6 This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.

So the scribes and Pharisees bring a woman caught in adultery to Jesus. Now, immediately, I hope one question becomes evident to you.

What questions come to your mind right now?

Where is the man? Why is only SHE here?

No evidence is given for how she was caught in adultery. One would presume that if they had been caught in the act, both would be being brought. But since it is only she who is being brought and not the man, a few possibilities stand.

The viewed her as the guilty one and exonerated the man.

They did not hold men to the same standard in their self righteousness.

They did not catch the man and did not know who he was

Thus, the evidence of her adultery is probably pregnancy.

Which means, a stoning would have involved killing the child.

Nothing states she is pregnant and we are not told why the man was not there nor how they discovered her sin. They were not pertinent to the story to include, but it is possible that the above is true.

Whatever the reason that the man is not brought, they bring her.

They cite the law that requires stoning of those found caught in adultery.

Leviticus 20:10.

Leviticus 20:10 ESV

10 “If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

Deuteronomy 22:22.

Deuteronomy 22:22 ESV

22 “If a man is found lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman. So you shall purge the evil from Israel.

Here is the test....

If Jesus rejects stoning her, he is in violation of the law handed down by Moses.

If he agrees and incites the crowd to stone her, he is violation of Roman law and inciting mob action to kill a person.

They probably think they have him.

John 8:6 leaves no doubt as to their intent. They only want to TEST him, to trap him. They care NOTHING about the woman or her adultery. They only want to trap Jesus and find reason to condemn him.

They are not coming humbly, teachably. They are not coming with honest and sincere intent in mind. They are not coming with open hearts and minds to be convinced.

They have already made up their mind based on their own arrogant, self-righteous “knowledge” and “understanding” of the very word that God entrusted to them SO THAT THEY WOULD BE READY WHEN THE MESSIAH CAME.

It is here we are confronted with the reality that man is NOT to test God IN THIS WAY....

To disprove him

To disregard him.

To reject and spurn his word, his authority, his grace.

Jesus has given PLENTY of signs by this point for them to see and believe.

We see warning throughout the scripture to put God to the test.

Deuteronomy 6:16.

Deuteronomy 6:16 ESV

16 “You shall not put the Lord your God to the test, as you tested him at Massah.

Moses was reminding the people to trust and obey God, to follow and submit to Him. He reminded them of when they tested God as Massah. This refers back to Exodus.

Exodus 17:1-7.

Exodus 17:1–7 ESV

1 All the congregation of the people of Israel moved on from the wilderness of Sin by stages, according to the commandment of the Lord, and camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. 2 Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the Lord?” 3 But the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses and said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst?” 4 So Moses cried to the Lord, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.” 5 And the Lord said to Moses, “Pass on before the people, taking with you some of the elders of Israel, and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. 6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people will drink.” And Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7 And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the quarreling of the people of Israel, and because they tested the Lord by saying, “Is the Lord among us or not?”

God promised to deliver them. God promised to take them to the promised land.

Only hours after being delivered supernaturally from Egypt, they are grumbling, losing faith, and complaining AFTER their complaints brought God’s deliverance in the first place.

They TESTED God by rejecting his promises.

They TESTED God by rejecting his provision

They TESTED God by rejecting His plan (because it involved pain or difficulty they had not originally counted on)

They TESTED God by rejecting His objective and goal. (It was never about them but always about Him and His glory)

By REFUSING to believe him and trust him DESPITE a plethora of evidence that God is trustworthy.

This was a common theme throughout the life of Israel.

Frankly it is a common theme for us, isn’t it?

Time and time again, Israel tested God and his word. So much so that even Paul writing to the Corinthians warns...

1 Corinthians 10:6-10.

1 Corinthians 10:6–10 ESV

6 Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. 7 Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.” 8 We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. 9 We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents, 10 nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer.

Here, Paul is referring to a different time, recorded for us in Numbers.

Numbers 21:4-9.

Numbers 21:4–9 ESV

4 From Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. And the people became impatient on the way. 5 And the people spoke against God and against Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we loathe this worthless food.” 6 Then the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died. 7 And the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray to the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. 8 And the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.

Israel put God to the test because rather than trust him (and he had given them plenty of reasons to trust him) and obey, they continued to cling to their own understanding, to their own will and plan and reject God as trustworthy.

God would tell the people exactly what was to happen if they obeyed and if they rejected him.

They would be told of the rich blessings if they trusted God and they would be told of the devastating rebuke if they failed to trust and obey.

They TESTED God in that they chose to do what they wanted anyway and disobey God and put God and His word to the test.

For those who do so, their end is judgement. Consider how it ends for these religious leaders in John 8.

John 8:6–9 ESV

6 This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.

They present their test.

Jesus’s response is interesting…He bends down and writes in the sand. He does not even verbally acknowledge them at first.

These are purely speculative, but here are some of thoughts people have considered.

Simple Doodling. Whether to calm himself or make them angry.

Roman judges had the custom of writing out their verdict before announcing it. Some have speculated this.

One commentator offered....an ingenious suggestion, based on the conviction that an adultery that was witnessed by two men looking on was likely to be a framed affair, probably through the connivance of the husband. As Jesus was seated, he could write only a limited number of letters in a row without moving, sixteen Hebrews characters in fact. The first sentence that Jesus wrote, and that suits that length, could have been Exod 23:1b: “You shall not support a wicked man (as a malicious witness)”: the second, Exod 23:7, “From a false matter keep far...”. The suggestion is entirely possible, though as little provable as others.

Some have made reference to Jeremiah 17:13 which refers to those who turn away from the Lord will be written in dust because they forsook the Lord. Some of speculated that Jesus was writing this and making it clear that THEY are these ones who have forsook and turned away from God.

Truth is, all options are speculation and none are provable. And it does not matter or else God would have made clear to us what he was writing.

HOWEVER, they persist. Jesus does not acknowledge them, so they press on.

John 8:7.

John 8:7 ESV

7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”

Not being deterred and persisting, Jesus now responds to their trap, to their test.

Commenting on Jesus response, DA Carson explains it well.

This is a direct reference to Deuteronomy 13:9; 17:7 (cf. Lv. 24:14)—the witnesses of the crime must be the first to throw the stones, and they must not be participants in the crime itself. Jesus’ saying does not mean that the authorities must be paragons of sinless perfection before the death sentence can properly be meted out, nor does it mean that one must be free even from lust before one can legitimately condemn adultery (even though lust and adultery belong to the same genus, Mt. 5:28). It means, rather, that they must not be guilty of this particular sin. As in many societies around the world, so here: when it comes to sexual sins, the woman was much more likely to be in legal and social jeopardy than her paramour. The man could lead a ‘respectable’ life while masking the same sexual sins with a knowing wink. Jesus’ simple condition, without calling into question the Mosaic code, cuts through the double standard and drives hard to reach the conscience.

D. A. Carson, The Gospel according to John, The Pillar New Testament Commentary (Leicester, England; Grand Rapids, MI: Inter-Varsity Press; W.B. Eerdmans, 1991), 336.

Jesus is calling out their hypocrisy.

Jesus is accusing the accusers.

This is not about the woman. It never was. It is about their self-righteous, arrogant hearts. Jesus sees right through it and calls them out.

Jesus is calling for grace.

There is a way we test unto grace.

The Test Unto Grace

John 8:7.

John 8:7 ESV

7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”

John 8:10-11.

John 8:10–11 ESV

10 Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”

What is Jesus’ point here?

Her guilt does not seem to be in question. She does not contest it or excuse it. She doesn’t say anything (at least that is recorded).

The text says nothing about her even being repentant.

Is God just ignoring sin?

Or did he know her heart and know she was repentant?

Did Jesus merely use it to show his grace and compassion?

Was it used to cause her to repent and believe?

Was Jesus the first to NOT condemn her and show her love and grace, compassion and mercy?

No, obviously God is not just ignoring sin. He cannot do that. He is holy and just. He is extending grace and forgiveness. It IS possible that he knew her heart, discerned her faith, and responded. It is possible, like the man at the pool of Siloam, that evidence of saving faith was not present but he chose to heal/extend mercy anyway as witness of his grace and his willingness and ability to forgive sin and restore to relationship with God.

This is the gospel.

This is grace.

“The point is not the condemnation of sin but the calling of sinners: not a doctrine but an event. Jesus accepts sinners in God’s name; his will is not to judge but to save” (2:168). From this point of view it has often been subject for comment that no record is given of the woman’s acknowledging of her sin or repentance for it. Yet the Lord’s, “Neither do I condemn you,” must be taken as a declaration of forgiveness in the name of God. He saw her need and addressed himself to it. Whoever first recounted the story intended us to understand the word of forgiveness as a means of release for new life. Grace, by definition, is always undeserved.

George R. Beasley-Murray, John, vol. 36, Word Biblical Commentary (Dallas: Word, Incorporated, 1999), 147.

For those of us who have repented and believed, God does not treat us as our sin deserves. Our faith and repentance are met with grace and forgiveness.

This is what Jesus is picturing here.

This is what Jesus is doing....extending an invitation....

Go and SIN NO MORE.

He is not just addressing her sin BUT HE IS ADDRESSING HER VALUES AND PRIORITIES. He is addressing hear heart and passions.

He is inviting her to live for something beyond herself.

And is that not what the gospel does? It invites us to die to ourselves (something the Pharisees did not want to do) and to live for God.

Mercy FROM God calls for life UNTO God.

The liberating work of Christ is no justification for continuing in sin but a means and motive for turning AWAY from sin.

Jesus is giving life, just as he came to do.

Jesus is making a point here...

You test God with your pride and self-righteousness..you will find only judgment.

You test him with faith and trust....you find grace AND LIFE.

Look with me at Malachi for a moment, let me show you how it works here...

Malachi 3:10-12.

Malachi 3:10–12 ESV

10 Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. 11 I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the Lord of hosts. 12 Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.

In the midst of this book, this chapter, God is rebuking his people for rejecting him, for turning aside from him. And in the middle of it, we have this gem.

Here is the point....if you TEST ME, TRUST ME, OBEY HIM…you can be assured I WILL DO WHAT I SAY.

Obey me.

When you put your faith in me…when you test my words with a heart of humility and faith…I will not fail.

Paul says it this way...

2 Corinthians 9:6-15.

2 Corinthians 9:6–15 ESV

6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. 9 As it is written, “He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever.” 10 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. 12 For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God. 13 By their approval of this service, they will glorify God because of your submission that comes from your confession of the gospel of Christ, and the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others, 14 while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God upon you. 15 Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!

He supplies.

He blesses.

He provides growth and abundance.

All he asks of us is our faith and obedience.

When we TEST the words and promises of God with a heart of faith, God WILL come through.

The Key IS THE HEART OF THE ONE DOING THE TEST.

Is it coming from a heart of pride with the intention to boost ones own self and trap God (like the Pharisees) OR

Is it coming from a heart of humility and trust who desires to learn from and following the Savior?

Imagine if these men had come with a sincere question. “We know this is what the law says; we know this is what Roman law says; and we understand the intent of mercy and grace in the law…what should we do?”

Imagine how different of an interaction that would be.

When we come with a heart of faith, a heart of trust, a heart of humility and we act in obedience to the words and promises of God, thereby TESTING his word for validity and authority…THIS Kind of test is honored and answered.

Maybe it is not how as expect, anticipate, or even as we would desire in our flesh, but God will never disappoint when we hold Him to His word.

The Test of Today

Will you trust him?

Paul reminds us in Romans 14:23...

Romans 14:23 ESV

23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.

These men did NOT come with a heart of faith. The only faith they had was in themselves.

When we act in faith with submission and obedience, our actions act as a sort of TEST, trying and proving God…but in a positive way.

When we act with indifference, apathy, or outright disdain and rebellion, our actions act as a TEST, trying or proving the character and word of God in a negative way. THIS is what we are warned against doing.

Are you testing God by ignoring his commands, rejecting his will, and living as you want, despite the revealed will of God in His word?

Are you humbly trusting Him, testing and trying his words PROVING their faithfulness and reliability through your daily dependence upon them?

With what heart are you TESTING God?

Will your test of his word please him or will it invoke his wrath?

Conclusion

Big Idea: Those who test the Lord will find only judgement. Those who trust the Lord find grace.

A Text Out of Place

The Test of Jesus

The Test Unto Judgement

The Test Unto Grace

The Test of Today

As you walk day by day in this broken world, may we walk by faith and PROVE the trustworthiness of God as we walk by faith and grow together to become more like Jesus for the glory of God.

Application

In what way(s) are you/we often guilty of testing the Lord in a negative way? Be specific

Knowing his commands, his will, his expectations, we continue to do what WE want regardless.

We live with indifference and careless thoughtlessness about God during the week and only consider Him on Sunday’s or when we have a need.

We neglect the things that are priority for God: Serving, prayer, study of the word, giving, proclaiming the gospel.

How does our depth of knowledge increase the severity of our testing of God?

The more we know, the more accountable we are.

Hebrews 10:26-31.

What is needed and necessary in order to guard our hearts against self righteous pride that puts God to the test?

Humility.

The body of Christ to encourage, admonish, and stimulate us on toward Christ.

A knowledge of God AND a knowledge of ourselves. Living in that tension between who God is and who we are.

A deep satisfaction in Christ as our all sufficiency.

How do we foster a heart of trust and faith that confidently takes God as it word and tests him in a positive way?

Spend regular, unhurried time in the word getting to know God intimately and passionately.

Spend time around other believers who are excited for and passionate for God.

Sit on the regular teaching and instruction of the word

Staying faithful in SERVING and GIVING to others. Keeping a focus that is beyond ourselves.

How has the grace we have received motivating us to a life UNTO God? Be Specific. Be Personal.
