Gospel of John - John 8.1-11, Matthew 7.1-5

Jobey McGinty

It's a famous story. A bunch of self-righteous religious leaders want to have an adulterous woman stoned for her sin. But Jesus shows compassion.  God's Word warns us not to judge wrongly or self-righteously. We're told that whatever amount of judgement we give, we will be judged by that same measure. We ought instead to hope and aim for compassion, mercy, grace, and forgiveness, and desire that everyone, even those who come against us, would be saved and set free from their own sin.
