The woman knew her fate the moment she was discovered - there was no appeal process
In it, we see God’s opinion of sin:
It’s dangerous
It’s contagious
It’s Irredeemable
Sin had to be cut out, like a disease without a cure so it wouldn’t infect all of Israel
Somewhere along the way the Pharisees stopped recogniz
The law was given as a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ -
The purpose was to show our need for help
There are none righteous, no not one
All have sinned, and fallen short of the glory of God
We could never live up to God’s perfection and holiness of our own strength
The woman was her sin in the eyes of the Pharisees
The world has not come very far since then

God won’t stop at anything to save it
You might not understand the worth of your soul anymore, but loves you so much he did this for you:

Even if no one else had been saved, or received what he gave here, he still would’ve died for you.
That tug you’re feeling, that emotion that I can see welling up in some of you is called conviction - it’s God tugging on your heart that you might connect with him and let go of the sin of this world.
“Good enough” isn’t good enough - Nicodemus and Jesus
When Peter preached on the day of Pentecost, and the crowd felt that same thing you’re feeling now they asked him ‘What shall we do?’

Peter responded - Acts:238
