1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: Let us pray. And so when they continued asking him, 2 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 1: he lifted up himself and said, unto them, he that 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,399 Speaker 1: is without sin among you, let him cast a stone 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: at her John eight seven, renew, refresh, restart. These are 5 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,800 Speaker 1: the words that come to mind as I meditate on 6 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: John seven one through eight twelve, when I am in 7 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: a moment of remorse, when I have made a mistake, 8 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: I will remember your commands when I allow you to 9 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: take control of my situation. Jesus, through your power and 10 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 1: in your knowledge, you give me the opportunity to have 11 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: my situation altered for the better. Doesn't matter what my 12 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: punishment should be. When you alter a situation, you have 13 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,639 Speaker 1: the ability to delete the sin in my life so 14 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: that I can have a fresh restart, like the woman 15 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: in today's story. Thank you that whoever is trying to 16 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: ridicule and parade my mistake around publicly, you will silence, 17 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: and that they will walk away and reflect on the 18 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: grace they've been given as well. Let this fresh restart 19 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: be the starting point of a repentant heart. Remove any 20 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: sin or hindrance within my life that would move me 21 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: backwards instead of forward into the glorious future. You have 22 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: for me in Jesus name. Amen. Thank you for making 23 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: prayer a priority in your day. To learn more about 24 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: the Bible, stay tuned for today's story, brought to you 25 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:59,639 Speaker 1: by Bible in a Year dot com. 26 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: You without Sin cast the first stone. In our last story, 27 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 2: Jesus spoke hard truths about being the bread of life. 28 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: He spoke of how he was sent by God from heaven, 29 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 2: and whoever ate his flesh and drank his blood would 30 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: inherit eternal life. Although Jesus spoke metaphorically, his words caused 31 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: many to leave. However, the disciples stayed for they knew 32 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: that only Jesus held the words of eternal life. Now 33 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: we witness a woman caught in shame. She is treated 34 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: like an animal and drug out in public. She will 35 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 2: soon come face to face with the scandalous power of 36 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 2: God's grace. Inspired by the Gospels. 37 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 3: Hello, and welcome to today's episode of the Bible in 38 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 3: a Year podcast. I'm Jack Graham. In yesterday's episode, we 39 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 3: heard as Jesus spoke very powerful words showing us that 40 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 3: he is the one who is sent from God, the 41 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 3: very bread of Heaven, who gives eternal life and satisfaction 42 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 3: to our hearts. Many could not accept his words and 43 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 3: departed that day, but others said, you have the words 44 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 3: of eternal life. To whom shall we go. The disciples 45 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 3: remained by his side, believing that he is who he 46 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 3: said he was, the Messiah, the one sent from God 47 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 3: to be the savior of the world. Today we'll hear 48 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 3: how Jesus steps in to rescue a woman caught in adultery, 49 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 3: an act that would have cost her her life. But 50 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 3: in the midst of the ruthless condemnation of religious leaders, 51 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 3: Jesus will shine the light of God's incredible grace upon her, 52 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 3: offering her restoration and redemption a brand new life. So 53 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 3: let's listen now to today's reading from God's Word. 54 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 2: The woman's jaw crashed against the stony dirt. She gasped 55 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 2: for air as she turned to her side. Her mouth 56 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 2: was dripping with blood and her clothes were falling off 57 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: her body. She had been caught in the act of 58 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 2: adulty by her husband and then drug out of her 59 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: bed into the city streets. Half naked, hurt and afraid. 60 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: She looked up at the crowd staring at her. They 61 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: laughed and scoffed. Shame welled up within her. Her body 62 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: and spirit were bruised. Tears fell upon the dust as 63 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: she listened to the religious leaders behind her. The Pharisees 64 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 2: had drug her into the middle of the courtyard for 65 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 2: all to see. They made a spectacle of her. She 66 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 2: was reduced to nothing as the whole crowd looked at 67 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: her in disgust. She closed her eyes and shame. She 68 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: knew what people did to women caught in adultery. She 69 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 2: knew she was about to be stoned. Teacher, one of 70 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: the pharisees shouted, this woman has been caught in adultery. 71 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: According to the law of Moses, she should be stoned. 72 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: The woman wondered who the Pharisees were talking to, so 73 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 2: she opened her eyes and looked. There standing in front 74 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 2: of the crow was Jesus. The Pharisees had brought her 75 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: to him, trying to trap him into forgiving a woman 76 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: who was clearly guilty. One of the Pharisees grabbed the 77 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 2: woman by the hair and shouted, so what do you 78 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 2: say now, Jesus, what should be done to her? Will 79 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 2: you obey the law of Moses. Tears streamed down the 80 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 2: woman's face as she looked at Jesus. His eyes were 81 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 2: filled with concern and comfort. Yet underneath Jesus's expression was 82 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: a rumbling of anger. Not anger towards her, but the 83 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: men who would treat her like an animal. To prove 84 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 2: a point, the religious leaders loomed over her, waiting for 85 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: Jesus to speak. Instead of replying, Jesus took two steps 86 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 2: forward and crouched down into the dirt. He began to 87 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 2: write words in the dust with his finger. There was 88 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 2: a silence as the Pharisees read what Jesus was writing. 89 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 2: The woman could not see what Jesus was carving into 90 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: the dirt, but she did notice that it made the 91 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 2: religious leaders uncomfortable. Jesus stood his feet and looked at them. 92 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 2: He picked up a stone off the floor and walked 93 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: towards them. The woman's heart raced. Would Jesus give them 94 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: permission to stone her? Would Jesus be the one to 95 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: throw the stone first. Jesus extended the stone towards the 96 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: pharisees and said, if any among you is without sin, 97 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: let him throw the first stone. Jesus dropped the stone 98 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 2: in front of the woman and pharisees. It fell to 99 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 2: the floor with a thud. Everyone was silent. Jesus knelt 100 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: down again and continued writing in the dirt. The men 101 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 2: looked at his words written in the dust, and one 102 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 2: by one they began to leave. Each man, beginning with 103 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 2: the oldest, departed in a hurry. The woman watched as 104 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 2: the men grumbled. Their faces were filled with worry. Perhaps 105 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 2: they did not want anyone to read what Jesus was writing, 106 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 2: Perhaps it was about them. The Pharisees left in a hurry, 107 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 2: and the crowds left when they realized nobody was going 108 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 2: to be stoned. All that remained was Jesus and the woman. 109 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: She was still sitting on the floor. Her knees were 110 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 2: bleeding and her eyes were red. Her scalp was sore 111 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 2: from being drug out by her hair, and she was 112 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 2: still embarrassed by her nakedness. Jesus walked over to her 113 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 2: and knelt on to the floor. He took the robe 114 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 2: off his back and draped it over the woman's shoulders. 115 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 2: He looked at the woman and then looked around the 116 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: empty courtyard, My child, he said, who is left to 117 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 2: condemn you? The woman looked around. Her heart was filled 118 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 2: with shame and gladness. She wept her tears fell into 119 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 2: the dirt before Jesus. She shook her head and answered, 120 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 2: there is no one left to condemn me. Lord Jesus 121 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 2: propped up her chin so her eyes met his. Then, 122 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 2: neither do I condemn you. Then Jesus helped the woman 123 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 2: to her feet, Go and sin no more. So the 124 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 2: woman departed, feeling the full weight of hears The words 125 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: Jesus spoke to Nicodemus were proven true that day, that 126 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 2: the Son of God did not come to condemn the world, 127 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 2: but that by him the whole world would be saved, 128 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: saved from the shame that plagued humanity. Since the Garden 129 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 2: of Eden, God once clothed Adam and Eve with the 130 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: skin of an animal when they were naked. Now Jesus 131 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: clothed this woman with grace. This would be an image 132 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,679 Speaker 2: of what he would do for all humanity. He would 133 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 2: clothe them in forgiveness and righteousness. Soon all would feel 134 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 2: the full weight of Jesus's love and sacrifice. This would 135 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 2: inspire people to go and sin no more. 136 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 3: We begin today's reading with an unnamed woman caught in 137 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 3: sin adulterous sin as she is being humiliated before a 138 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 3: crowd of onlookers. She had been discovered in the act 139 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 3: of dultery, caught in the act as it were, and 140 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 3: the Pharisees, cruel and bitter, its seemed, were out for justice. 141 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 3: At least that's how they wanted it to appear. Old 142 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 3: Testament laws stated that such a woman should be stoned 143 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 3: to death for her infidelity. But these men really weren't 144 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 3: seeking justice. They were actually trying to set a trap 145 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 3: for Jesus. There was no denying this woman had done wrong, 146 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 3: but their quest was not for righteousness. They wanted to 147 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 3: turn the tables and regain control that they'd lost to 148 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 3: this merciful teacher, the messiah named Jesus, who had come 149 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 3: onto the scene. So they paraded this woman, abused, this 150 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 3: woman upawn in their scheme, into a public square, and 151 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 3: cast her to the ground, challenging Jesus to decide what 152 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 3: should happen to her. In so many ways, this woman 153 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 3: represents a deep fear many people fear, the sin and 154 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 3: the shame that people bear, and that someday our greatest 155 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 3: failures and falls will be brought to light in a 156 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 3: public matter, that our secrets will be shouted from the rooftops, 157 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 3: that family and friends and even strangers will know of 158 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 3: our mistakes and our mess ups, our grievous sins. Jesus, however, 159 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 3: wasn't going to play the Pharisees game. Instead, he quietly 160 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 3: knelt down and wrote something in the dirt. What he 161 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 3: wrote will remain a mystery we don't know, as we're 162 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 3: not told what he wrote or what he meant. Whatever 163 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 3: it was, it didn't deter the religious leaders. They continued 164 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 3: to press Jesus to determine the woman's fate. Jesus simply 165 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 3: stood and faced them and gave a challenge to the men, 166 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 3: if you are sinless, by all means, throw a stone. 167 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 3: It was a challenge that not even the self righteous 168 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 3: Pharisees could take on. But Jesus wasn't done. He knelt 169 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 3: again and silently wrote in the dirt once more, and 170 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 3: with that the men slunk away in defeat. Their plan 171 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 3: had failed, and eventually all that remained were Jesus and 172 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 3: the woman. I can imagine Jesus standing there with the 173 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 3: woman looking over her shoulder to the left and to 174 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 3: the right, and then asking where did everyone go? Did 175 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 3: no one condemn you? And the woman, who surely had 176 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 3: believed her death was to be imminent, looks up and 177 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 3: sees no one to condemn her. Timidly, she speaks back 178 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 3: to Jesus, saying, no one, Lord we see Jesus reply 179 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 3: in John eight eleven, I do not condemn you either, 180 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 3: go from now on to sin no more. Can you 181 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 3: imagine the weight of guilt that was lifted from her 182 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 3: shoulders as she experienced God and his grace. If you 183 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 3: have ever experienced God's forgiveness, then maybe you have some idea. 184 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 3: I know I do. Like her, We all stand accused 185 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 3: of sin, and there's no question as to our guilt 186 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 3: and even our shame. But like her, we have been 187 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 3: touched by the power of God through the grace of 188 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 3: our Lord, Jesus Christ, we have been forgiven and now 189 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 3: we live free from the shackles of sin. You see, 190 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 3: this reading is not about Jesus overlooking sin or acting 191 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 3: like she wasn't guilty. All have sinned, we all deserve 192 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 3: punishment and even judgment. But this passage today focuses on 193 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 3: the words of Jesus, I do not condemn you. So 194 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 3: if we read this passage and focus only on the 195 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 3: words I do not condemn you, then we missed the 196 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 3: big point. Jesus did not deny her sin or guilt. 197 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 3: He forgave her for it. He released her from it 198 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 3: and freed her not to sin or to live in 199 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 3: sin again. This is all made possible because of what 200 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 3: Jesus did for us, and it's the message of the 201 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 3: Gospel that God's grace is greater than our sin, that 202 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 3: what he did on the cross includes every sin by 203 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 3: every person. He himself paid the price and the judgment 204 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 3: for our sins. He paid a debt he did not owe, 205 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 3: because we owe a debt that we could not pay. 206 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 3: Jesus sets us free from the power of sin and 207 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 3: death so that we can go live an abundant and 208 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 3: eternal life.
