John tells us in verse 6 what their agenda was: "This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him."
a.
They didn’t care about this woman.
b.
They didn’t care about her spiritual condition.
c.
They didn’t care about her husband.
d.
They didn’t care about her children.
All they cared about was making Jesus look bad and themselves look good.
Jesus had a threefold dilemma.
They but Jesus in a threefold dilemma.
If he said, let her go, He would be going against the Law of Moses.
If he said stone her, He would be telling them to go against Roman law which did not allow the Jews to put anyone to death without Roman approval.
Most importantly, if He said stone her, He would be going against the whole idea of grace that He had teaching so much about.
If he said, let her go, He would be going against the Law of Moses.
Law of Moses.
If he said stone her, He would be telling them to go against Roman law which did not allow the Jews to put anyone to death without Roman approval.
Most importantly, if He said stone her, He would be going against the whole idea of grace that He had teaching so much about.

Notice what Jesus does: "But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear."
He took time!
Was not in a rush – I think the prayed Father I need your grace now
The problem that Christians sometimes have is that we forgot what it was like to be unsaved
We forget what we were like before we were saved.
We forget what it was like to be a new Christian and we were working out our faith in fear and trembling.
We forget that we are no more than sinners saved by grace.
Don’t lose touch with the depth of God’s grace.
We loose touch with the fact that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
We loose touch with the fact that Christ accepted us just the way we were.
We loose touch with the fact that we didn’t come to Christ all clean and pretty, but we were all blind, deaf and naked.
We need to do more than sing about His amazing grace.
It is time for to extend some of His amazing grace.
The story of the adulterous woman, we can see
The Conviction of Grace
John 8:7-9)
Convicted By Their Conscience
With out sin cast the first stone!!!!!!
Convicted By Their Conscience
With out sin cast the first stone!!!!!!
So Jesus tires of their pestering and says "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first."
Jesus’ statement of permission, "All right, stone her," balanced several crucial points of truth.
He upheld the legal penalty for adultery (stoning), so he could not be accused of being against the law.
But by requiring that only those who have never sinned throw the first stones, Jesus exposed what was in the accusers’ hearts.
Without condoning the woman’s actions, he highlighted the importance of compassion and forgiveness and broadened the spotlight of judgment until every accuser felt himself included.
Then Jesus stooped back down and began to write again.
"Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last."
The leaders slipped away one by one, from oldest to youngest.
Evidently the older men were more aware of their sins than the younger.
God Grace will set us Free!
We cannot:
a. Run from From God’s Grace
b.
Hide from
c. Deny it
and Without God’s grace we are lost!
No One Condemned Her
Jesus was left alone with the woman.
He looked at her and said ""Woman, where are those accusers of yours?
Has no one condemned you?"
Grace should bring respect.
His questions do not imply that the woman is innocent since in 8:11 he warns her to cease a sinful life that has been her habit.
Her response shows considerable respect for Jesus.
"She said, "No one, Lord."
Sin No More
Some people think that grace means God will forgive, so go out and do whatever you want.
Go and sin no more was the advice given to the women
Grace means you "go and sin no more."
– you have the power not to sin
Shall I keep sinning?
No why because of Grace.
