John 8:1-12

John is not content to just tell us WHAT happened. John wants something TO happen to you.

“These have been written that you may BELIEVE Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and by BELIEVING you may have LIFE in His name.” - John 20:31

“Jesus said, I am the LIGHT of the WORLD. Whoever follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.” - John 8:12

John 8:1-12 (pg. 1,661)

v.2 “At DAWN, Jesus appeared again in the TEMPLE courts, where all the PEOPLE GATHERED around Him, and He sat down and began to teach them.”

v.5 “In the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do YOU say?”

v.7 “When they kept questioning Him, Jesus straightened up and said to them, If there is any among you who is WITHOUT SIN, let him be the FIRST to throw a stone at her.”

v.9 “At this, those who heard began to GO AWAY, one at time, the OLDER ones first, until only JESUS was left with the woman still standing there.”

v.10 “Jesus straightened up and asked her, Woman where are they? Has no one CONDEMNED you?”

Is there no one here FORCING YOU to PAY for what you’ve DONE?

v.11 “Then Jesus said to her, NEITHER DO I condemn you. Go now, and LEAVE your life of SIN.”

Jesus’ tone was all about COMPASSION. He URGEED, He did not CONDEMN.

Sin KILLS things.

Jesus offered HIMSELF.

v.12 “When Jesus spoke again to the people He said, I am the LIGHT of the WORLD.”

I CAN show you the way FORWARD and I WILL show you the way OUT.

When someone is willing to DIE for you, you never have to question how they FEEL about you.

v.12 “Whoever follows ME, will never walk in DARKNESS, but will have the LIGHT of LIFE.”
