Time For Self-Examination - John 8:1-11

John 8:1-11 documents the compassionate encounter between Jesus and a woman caught in adultery.

The religious leaders bring her to Jesus, intending to trap him. Instead of condemning her, Jesus responds with grace and wisdom, saying, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." He then writes on the ground, causing the accusers to leave one by one.

Jesus, having the authority to condemn, chooses mercy. He tells the woman he does not condemn her either and advises her to go and sin no more. This moment exemplifies the transformative power of grace, offering forgiveness and a fresh start.

As we reflect on this story, it prompts us to embrace the mercy extended to us and to extend that same grace to others, recognizing the potential for redemption in every life.

Amen.
