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 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: by Bible in a Year dot com.

26
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: You without Sin cast the first stone. In our last story,

27
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: Jesus spoke hard truths about being the bread of life.

28
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: He spoke of how he was sent by God from heaven,

29
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: and whoever ate his flesh and drank his blood would

30
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: inherit eternal life. Although Jesus spoke metaphorically, his words caused

31
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: many to leave. However, the disciples stayed for they knew

32
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,839
Speaker 2: that only Jesus held the words of eternal life. Now

33
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: we witness a woman caught in shame. She is treated

34
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: like an animal and drug out in public. She will

35
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: soon come face to face with the scandalous power of

36
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: God's grace. Inspired by the Gospels.

37
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 3: Hello, and welcome to today's episode of the Bible in

38
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 3: a Year podcast. I'm Jack Graham. In yesterday's episode, we

39
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 3: heard as Jesus spoke very powerful words showing us that

40
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: he is the one who is sent from God, the

41
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: bread of Heaven, who gives eternal life and satisfaction to

42
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: our hearts. Many could not accept his words and departed

43
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 3: that day, but others said, you have the words of

44
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: eternal life. To whom shall we go. The disciples remain

45
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: by his side, believing that he is who he said

46
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: he was, the Messiah, the one sent from God to

47
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: be the savior of the world. Today we'll hear how

48
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: Jesus steps in to rescue a woman caught in adultery,

49
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: an act that would have cost her her life. But

50
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 3: in the midst of the ruthless condemnation of religious leaders,

51
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: Jesus will shine the light of God's incredible grace upon her,

52
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: offering her restoration and redemption a brand new life. So

53
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: let's listen now to today's reading from God's Word.

54
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: The woman's jaw crashed against the stony dirt. She gasped

55
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: for air as she turned to her side. Her mouth

56
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: was dripping with blood and her clothes were falling off

57
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: her body. She had been caught in the act of

58
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: adultery by her husband and then drug out of her

59
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: bed into the city streets. Half naked, hurt and afraid.

60
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: She looked up at the crowd staring at her. They

61
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: laughed and scoffed shame welled up within her. Her body

62
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: and spirit were bruised. Tears fell upon the dust as

63
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: she listened to the religious leaders behind her. The Pharisees

64
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: had drug her into the middle of the courtyard for

65
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: all to see. They made a spectacle of her. She

66
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: was reduced to nothing as the whole crowd looked at

67
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: her in disgust. She closed her eyes and shame. She

68
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: knew what people did to women caught in adultery. She

69
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 2: knew she was about to be stoned. Teacher, one of

70
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 2: the pharisees shouted, this woman has been caught in adultery.

71
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 2: According to the law of Moses, she should be stoned.

72
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 2: The woman wondered who the Pharisees were talking to, so

73
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: she opened her eyes and looked. There standing in front

74
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: of the crowd was Jesus. The pharisees had brought her

75
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: to him, trying to trap him into forgiving a woman

76
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: who was clearly guilty. One of the pharisees grabbed the

77
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: woman by the hair and shouted, so what do you

78
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 2: say now, Jesus, what should be done to her? Will

79
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: you obey the law of Moses. Tears streamed down the

80
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: woman's face as she looked at Jesus. His eyes were

81
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 2: filled with concern and comfort. Yet underneath Jesus's expression was

82
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: a rumbling of anger. Not anger towards her, but the

83
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 2: men who would treat her like an animal. To prove

84
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: a point, the religious leaders loomed over her, waiting for

85
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: Jesus to speak. Instead of replying, Jesus took two steps

86
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 2: forward and crouched down into the dirt. He began to

87
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: write words in the dust with his finger. There was

88
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: a silence as the Pharisees read what Jesus was writing.

89
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: The woman could not see what Jesus was carving into

90
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: the dirt, but she did notice that it made the

91
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: religious leaders uncomfortable. Jesus he stood to his feet and

92
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 2: looked at them. He picked up a stone off the

93
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: floor and walked towards them. The woman's heart raced. Would

94
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: Jesus give them permission to stone her? Would Jesus be

95
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 2: the one to throw the stone first. Jesus extended the

96
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: stone towards the pharisees and said, if any among you

97
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 2: is without sin, let him throw the first stone. Jesus

98
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 2: dropped the stone in front of the woman and pharisees.

99
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: It fell to the floor with a thud. Everyone was silent.

100
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: Jesus knelt down again and continued writing in the dirt.

101
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: The men looked at his words written in the dust,

102
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: and one by one they began to leave. Each man,

103
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: beginning with the oldest, departed in a hurry. The woman

104
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: watched as the men grumbled. Their faces were filled with worry.

105
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: Perhaps they did not want anyone to read what Jesus

106
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: was writing, Perhaps it was about them. The Pharisees left

107
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: in a hurry, and the crowds left when they realized

108
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: nobody was going to be stoned. All that remained was

109
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: Jesus and the woman. She was still sitting on the floor.

110
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: Her knees were bleeding and her eyes were red. Her

111
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: scalp was sore from being drug out by her hair,

112
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: and she was still embarrassed by her nakedness. Jesus walked

113
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: over to her and knelt on to the floor. He

114
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: took the robe off his back and draped it over

115
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 2: the woman's shoulders. He looked at the woman and then

116
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: looked around the empty courtyard, My child, he said, who

117
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: is left to condemn you? The woman looked around. Her

118
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: heart was filled with shame and gladness. She wept. Her

119
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: tears fell into the dirt before Jesus. She shook her

120
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: head and answered, there is no one left to condemn me.

121
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: Lord Jesus propped up her chin so her eyes met his. Then,

122
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: neither do I condemn you. Then Jesus helped the woman

123
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: to her feet, go and sin no more. So the

124
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: woman departed, feeling the full way to forgiveness. The words

125
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: Jesus spoke to Nicodemus were proven true that day, that

126
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: the Son of God did not come to condemn the world,

127
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: but that by him the whole world would be saved,

128
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: saved from the shame that plagued humanity Since the Garden

129
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: of Eden, God once clothed Adam and Eve with the

130
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: skin of an animal when they were naked. Now Jesus

131
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: clothed this woman with grace. This would be an image

132
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: of what he would do for all humanity. He would

133
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: clothe them in forgiveness and righteousness. Soon all would feel

134
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: the full weight of Jesus's love and sacrifice. This would

135
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: inspire people to go and sin no more.

136
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: We begin today's reading with an unnamed woman caught in

137
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: sin adulterous sin as she is being humiliated before a

138
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: crowd of onlookers. She had been discovered in the act

139
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: of dulter, caught in the act as it were, and

140
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 3: the Pharisees, cruel and bitter, it seemed, were out for justice.

141
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: At least that's how they wanted it to appear. Old

142
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: Testament laws stated that such a woman should be stoned

143
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 3: to death for her infidelity. But these men really weren't

144
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: seeking justice. They were actually trying to set a trap

145
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 3: for Jesus. There was no denying this woman had done wrong,

146
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: but their quest was not for righteousness. They wanted to

147
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: turn the tables and regain control that they'd lost to

148
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 3: this merciful teacher, the messiah named Jesus, who had come

149
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 3: onto the scene. So they paraded this woman, abuse, this

150
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: woman upon in their scheme, into a public square, and

151
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: cast her to the ground, challenging Jesus to decide what

152
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 3: should happen to her. In so many ways, this woman

153
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: represents a deep fear many people fear, the sin and

154
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: the shame that people bear, and that someday our greatest

155
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 3: failures and falls will be brought to light in a

156
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 3: public matter, that our secrets will be shouted from the rooftops.

157
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 3: That family and friends and even strangers will know of

158
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: our mistakes and our mess ups, our grievous sins. Jesus, however,

159
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: wasn't going to play the Pharisees game. Instead, he quietly

160
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 3: knelt down and wrote something in the dirt. What he

161
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: wrote will remain a mystery we don't know, as we're

162
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 3: not told what he wrote or what he meant. Whatever

163
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: it was, it didn't deter the religious leaders. They continued

164
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 3: to press Jesus to determine the woman's fate. Jesus simply

165
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 3: stood and faced them and gave a challenge to the men,

166
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 3: if you are sinless, by all means, throw a stone.

167
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 3: It was a challenge that not even the self righteous

168
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: Pharisees could take on. But Jesus wasn't done. He knelt

169
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: again and silently wrote in the dirt once more, and

170
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 3: with that the men slunk away in defeat. Their plan

171
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: had failed, and eventually all that remained were Jesus and

172
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: the woman. I can imagine Jesus standing there with the

173
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 3: woman looking over her sh to the left and to

174
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 3: the right, and then asking where did everyone go? Did

175
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 3: no one condemn you? And the woman, who surely had

176
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 3: believed her death was to be imminent, looks up and

177
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: sees no one to condemn her. Timidly, she speaks back

178
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: to Jesus, saying, no one, Lord we see Jesus reply

179
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 3: in John eight eleven, I do not condemn you either,

180
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 3: go from now on to sin no more. Can you

181
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 3: imagine the weight of guilt that was lifted from her

182
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 3: shoulders as she experienced God and his grace. If you

183
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 3: have ever experienced God's forgiveness, then maybe you have some idea.

184
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: I know I do. Like her, we all stand accused

185
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 3: of sin, and there's no question as to our guilt

186
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: and even our shame. But like her, we have been

187
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 3: touched by the power of God through the grace of

188
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: our Lord, Jesus Christ, we have been forgiven and now

189
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 3: we live free from the shackles of sin. You see,

190
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: this reading is not about Jesus overlooking sin like she

191
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 3: wasn't guilty. All have sinned, We all deserve punishment and

192
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 3: even judgment. But this passage today focuses on the words

193
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: of Jesus, I do not condemn you. So if we

194
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 3: read this passage and focus only on the words I

195
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 3: do not condemn you, then we missed the big point.

196
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 3: Jesus did not deny her sin or guilt. He forgave

197
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: her for it. He released her from it and freed

198
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: her not to sin or to live in sin again.

199
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 3: This is all made possible because of what Jesus did

200
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 3: for us, and it's the message of the gospel that

201
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 3: God's grace is greater than our sin, that what he

202
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 3: did on the cross includes every sin by every person.

203
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: He himself paid the price and the judgment for our sins.

204
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 3: He paid a debt he did not owe, because we

205
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 3: owe a debt that we could not pay. Jesus sets

206
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 3: us free from the power of sin and death so

207
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 3: that we can go live an abundant and eternal life.

208
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 3: Let's pray. Dear God, we thank you for today's scripture

209
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: that teaches us your amazing grace. We give thanks to

210
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 3: you because we have been forgiven and freed from the

211
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 3: penalty of death through your son Jesus and by the

212
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: power of his resurrection. Thank you for your love for us.

213
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,720
