1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: Let us pray. And so when they continued asking him, 2 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,800 Speaker 1: he lifted up himself and said, unto them, he that 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,400 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 --> 00:00:25,840 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 00:00:36,960 --> 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 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,639 Speaker 1: the ability to delete the sin in my life so 14 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: that I can have a fresh restart, like the woman 15 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:06,200 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 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: grace they've been given as well. Let this fresh restart 19 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: be the starting point of a repentant heart. Remove any 20 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,000 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 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: prayer a priority in your day.

He spoke of how he was 36 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 4: sent by God from heaven, and whoever ate his flesh 37 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 4: and drank his blood would inherit eternal life. Although Jesus 38 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 4: spoke metaphorically, his words caused many to leave. However, the 39 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 4: disciples stayed, for they knew that only Jesus held the 40 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 4: words of eternal life. Now we witness a woman caught 41 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 4: in shame. She is treated like an animal. And drug 42 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 4: out in public. She will soon come face to face 43 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 4: with the scandalous power of God's grace. Inspired by the Gospels. 44 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 5: Hello, and welcome to today's episode of the Bible in 45 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 5: a Year podcast. I'm Jack Graham. In yesterday's episode, we 46 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 5: heard as Jesus spoke very powerful words showing us that 47 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 5: he is the one who is sent from God, the 48 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 5: very bread of Heaven, who gives eternal life and satisfaction 49 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 5: to our hearts. Many could not accept his words and 50 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 5: departed that day, but others said, you have the words 51 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 5: of eternal life. To whom shall we go? The disciples 52 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 5: remained by his side, believing that he is who he 53 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 5: said he was, the Messiah, the one sent from God 54 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 5: to be the savior of the world. Today, we'll hear 55 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 5: how Jesus steps into rescue a woman caught in adultery, 56 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 5: an act that would have cost her her life, but 57 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 5: in the midst of the ruthless condemnation of religious leaders, 58 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 5: Jesus will shine the light of God's incredible grace upon her, 59 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 5: offering her restoration and redemption a brand new life. So 60 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 5: let's listen now to today's reading from God's Word, The. 61 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 4: Woman's jaw crashed against the stony dirt. She gasped for 62 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 4: air as she turned to her side. Her mouth was 63 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 4: dripping with blood and her clothes were falling off her body. 64 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 4: She had been caught in the act of adultery by 65 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 4: her husband and then drug out of her bed into 66 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 4: the city streets. Half naked, hurt and afraid, she looked 67 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 4: up at the crowd staring at her. They laughed and scoffed. 68 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 4: Shame welled up within her. Her body and spirit were bruised. 69 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 4: Tears fell upon the dust as she listened to the 70 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 4: religious leaders behind her. The Pharisees had drug her into 71 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 4: the middle of the courtyard for all to see. They 72 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 4: made a spectacle of her. She was reduced to nothing 73 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 4: as the whole crowd looked at her in disgust. She 74 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 4: closed her eyes in shame. She knew what people did 75 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 4: to women caught in adultery. She knew she was about 76 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 4: to be stoned. Teacher, one of the pharisees, shouted, this 77 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 4: woman has been caught in adultery. According to the law 78 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 4: of Moses, she should be stoned. The woman wondered who 79 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 4: the pharisees were talking to, so she opened her eyes 80 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 4: and looked. There standing in front of the crowd was Jesus. 81 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,119 Speaker 4: The Pharisees had brought her to him, trying to trap 82 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 4: him into forgiving a woman who was clearly guilty. One 83 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 4: of the pharisees grabbed the woman by the hair and shouted, 84 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 4: so what do you say now, Jesus, what should be 85 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 4: done to her? Will you obey the law of Moses. 86 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 4: Tears streamed down the woman's face as she looked at Jesus. 87 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 4: His eyes were filled with concern and comfort. Yet underneath 88 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 4: Jesus's expression was a rumbling of anger. Not anger towards her, 89 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 4: but the men who would treat her like an animal. 90 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 4: To prove a point, the religious leaders loomed over her, 91 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 4: waiting for Jesus to speak. Instead of replying, Jesus took 92 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 4: two steps forward and crouched down into the dirt. He 93 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 4: began to write words in the dust with his finger. 94 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 4: There was a silence as the Pharisees read what Jesus 95 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 4: was writing. The woman could not see what Jesus was 96 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 4: carving into the dirt, but she did notice that it 97 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 4: made the religious leaders uncomfortable. Jesus stood to his feet 98 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 4: and looked at them. He picked up a stone off 99 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 4: the floor and walked towards them. The woman's heart raced. 100 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 4: Would Jesus give them permission to stone her? Would Jesus 101 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 4: be the one to throw the stone first. Jesus extended 102 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 4: the stone towards the Pharisees and said, if any among 103 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 4: you is without sin, let him throw the first stone. 104 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 4: Jesus dropped the stone in front of the woman, and 105 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 4: it fell to the floor with a thud. Everyone was silent. 106 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 4: Jesus knelt down again and continued writing in the dirt. 107 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 4: The men looked at his words written in the dust, 108 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 4: and one by one they began to leave, Each man, 109 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 4: beginning with the oldest, departed in a hurry. The woman 110 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 4: watched as the men grumbled. Their faces were filled with worry. 111 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 4: Perhaps they did not want anyone to read what Jesus 112 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 4: was writing, Perhaps it was about them. The Pharisees left 113 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 4: in a hurry, and the crowds left when they realized 114 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 4: nobody was going to be stoned. All that remained was 115 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 4: Jesus and the woman. She was still sitting on the floor. 116 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 4: Her knees were bleeding and her eyes were red. Her 117 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 4: scalp was sore from being drug out by her hair, 118 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 4: and she was still embarrassed by her nakedness. Jesus walked 119 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 4: over to her and knelt onto the floor. He took 120 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 4: the robe off his back and draped it over the 121 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 4: woman's shoulders. He looked at the woman, and then looked 122 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 4: around the courtyard, my child, He said, who is left 123 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 4: to condemn you? The woman looked around. Her heart was 124 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 4: filled with shame and gladness. 125 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 5: She wept. 126 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 4: Her tears fell into the dirt before Jesus. She shook 127 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 4: her head and answered, there is no one left to 128 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 4: condemn me. Lord. Jesus propped up her chin so her 129 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 4: eyes met his. Then, neither do I condemn you. Then 130 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 4: Jesus helped the woman to her feet, go and sin 131 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 4: no more. So the woman departed, feeling the full weight 132 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 4: of forgiveness. The words Jesus spoke to Nicodemus were proven 133 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 4: true that day, that the Son of God did not 134 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 4: come to condemn the world, but that by him the 135 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 4: whole world would be saved, saved from the shame that 136 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 4: plagued humanity. Since the Garden of Eden, God once clothed 137 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 4: Adam and Eve with the skin of an animal when 138 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 4: they were naked. Now Jesus clothed this woman with grace. 139 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 4: This would be an image of what he would do 140 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 4: for all humanity. He would clothe them in forgiveness and righteousness. 141 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 4: Soon all would feel the full weight of Jesus's love 142 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 4: and sacrifice. This would inspire people to go and sin 143 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 4: no more. 144 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 5: We begin today's reading with an unnamed woman caught in 145 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 5: sin adulterous sin as she is being humiliated before a 146 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 5: crowd of onlookers. She had been discovered in the act 147 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 5: of dultery, caught in the act as it were, and 148 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 5: the Pharisees, cruel and bitter, it seemed, were out for justice. 149 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 5: At least that's how they wanted it to appear. Old 150 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 5: Testament laws stated that such a woman should be stoned 151 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 5: to death for her infidelity. But these men really weren't 152 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 5: seeking justice. They were actually trying to set a trap 153 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 5: for Jesus. There was no denying this woman had done wrong, 154 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 5: but their quest was not for righteousness. They wanted to 155 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 5: turn the tables and regain control that they'd lost to 156 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 5: this merciful teacher, the messiah named Jesus, who had come 157 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 5: onto the scene. So they paraded this woman, abused this 158 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 5: woman upawn in their scheme into a public square and 159 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 5: cast her to the ground, challenging Jesus to decide what 160 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 5: should happen to her. In so many ways, this woman 161 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 5: represents a deep fear many people. Fear the sin and 162 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 5: the shame that people bear, and that someday our greatest 163 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 5: failures and falls will be brought to light in a 164 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 5: public matter, that our secrets will be shouted from the rooftops, 165 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 5: that family and friends and even strangers will know of 166 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 5: our mistakes and our mess ups, our grievous sins. Jesus, however, 167 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 5: wasn't going to play the Pharisees game. Instead, he quietly 168 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 5: knelt down and wrote something in the dirt. What he 169 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 5: wrote will remain a mystery we don't know, as we're 170 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 5: not told what he wrote or what he meant. Whatever 171 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 5: it was, it didn't deter the religious leaders. They continued 172 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 5: to press Jesus to determine the woman's fate. Jesus simply 173 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 5: stood and faced them and gave a challenge to the men, 174 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 5: if you are sinless, by all means, throw a stone. 175 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 5: It was a challenge that not even the self righteous 176 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 5: Pharisees could take on. But Jesus wasn't done he knelt 177 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 5: again and silently wrote in the dirt once more, and 178 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 5: with that the men slunk away in defeat. Their plan 179 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 5: had failed, and eventually all that remained were Jesus and 180 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,839 Speaker 5: the woman. I can imagine Jesus standing there with the woman, 181 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 5: looking over her shoulder to the left and to the right, 182 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 5: and then asking where did everyone go? Did no one 183 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 5: condemn you? And the woman, who surely had believed her 184 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 5: death was to be imminent, looks up and sees no 185 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 5: one to condemn her. Timidly, she speaks back to Jesus, saying, 186 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 5: no one, Lord, we see Jesus reply in John eight eleven, 187 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 5: I do not condemn you either. Go from now on 188 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 5: to sin no more. Can you imagine the weight of 189 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 5: guilt that was lifted from her shoulders as she experienced 190 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 5: God and his grace. If you have ever experienced God's forgiveness, 191 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 5: then maybe you have some idea. I know I do. 192 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 5: Like her. We all stand accused of sin, and there's 193 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 5: no question as to our guilt and even our shame. 194 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 5: But like her, we have been touched by the power 195 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 5: of God through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. 196 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 5: We have been forgiven and now we live free from 197 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 5: the shackles of sin. You see, this reading is not 198 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 5: about Jesus overlooking sin or acting like she wasn't guilty. 199 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 5: All have sinned, we all deserve punishment and even judgment. 200 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 5: But this passage today focuses on the words of Jesus, 201 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 5: I do not condemn you. So if we read this 202 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 5: passage and focus only on the words I do not 203 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 5: condemn you, then we miss the big point. Jesus did 204 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 5: not deny her sin or guilt. He forgave her for it. 205 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 5: He released her from it and freedom not to sin 206 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 5: or to live in sin again. This is all made 207 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 5: possible because of what Jesus did for us, and it's 208 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 5: the message of the Gospel that God's grace is greater 209 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 5: than our sin, that what he did on the cross 210 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 5: includes every sin by every person. He himself paid the 211 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 5: price and the judgment for our sins. He paid a 212 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 5: debt he did not owe, because we owe a debt 213 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 5: that we could not pay. Jesus sets us free from 214 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 5: the power of sin and death so that we can 215 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 5: go live an abundant and eternal life. Let's pray, Dear God, 216 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 5: we thank you for today's scripture that teaches us your 217 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 5: amazing grace.
