John 8:1-20


John 8:1-20
This passage is as iconic as it is relevant. We do not know if this woman was a whore or a prostitute but that she was caught in idolatry and we do not know how long this behaviour was ongoing. While everyone in authority wanted her executed, Jesus reminded them of their sin. I've hurt so many people, ruined relationships, lied, cheated and worse. I am the whore that the world condemns. While I don't consider myself very legalistic, I believe that this passage should always be a constant reminder in our lives. When fellow Christians are suspected or caught in their sin, am I quick to pass judgement? Like Jesus, rather than punishing this sinner, I should do my best to lead her so she can restore her relationship back to God. God cares more about fixed relationships than he does judgement.
