“Completely Exposed”
John 8:1-11
Introduction: Have you ever had your sin exposed?Nobody enjoys having their sins exposedWhen we feel like we’ve been sinned against, we want justiceThe passage we will study is often a passage used out of context to defend ourselves when we feel exposedGod’s Law Exposes Our SinMany people have used this passage to suggest that sinning should be excusedIt wasn’t the Pharisees that identified sin, but God’s LawThe Pharisees did what God’s law required, but not because they were interested in justiceGod’s Law Condemns Us AllWhat did Jesus Write in the Dirt?Jesus answered without breaking God’s LawGod’s Law must not be ignored or excused awayGod’s Law, When Broken, Demands PunishmentJesus told these men that this woman should be put to deathJesus was the only one who could have carried out the execution, but he wasn’t interested in throwing stonesJesus came that we might be given a clean slateConclusion: Because Jesus Went to the Cross, We Can Stand Completely Exposed Before God Without Fear of CondemnationJesus Gave up his life as a sin offering for the offenses we have committed against God and othersGod does not take pleasure in punishing our sinIf God doesn’t take pleasure in punishing our sin, maybe we shouldn’t take pleasure when others are punishedThe post John 8:1-11 – “Completely Exposed” appeared first on Runge First Baptist Church.
