Dec 11, 2023 · Perhaps the most striking aspect of the story of the woman caught in adultery is how skillfully it illustrates the harmony of justice and mercy in Christ’s salvation.

The adulterous woman was standing in the temple when Jesus entered. The Pharisees testified about her sin and told Jesus that she should be stoned to death. They asked Jesus if He agreed with their judgment and punishment. But Jesus did not answer their question. Rather, He pointed out their hypocrisy. As the accusers argued, Jesus did not answer t...

The first to criticize is a synonym for the first to throw the first stone. The phrase is from the Bible, John 8:7. Obviously, Jesus was referring to accusing another of adultery. The verse also applies to other situations. When we are the first to accuse someone, we are first, guilty of our sin. Therefore, it is wrong to condemn or criticize other...
In the New Testament, elders were appointed to oversee the work of the church. The term “elder” has a long and complex history. In the Old Testament, elders were considered to be wise and honorable men. This is not surprising because the Bible refers to these men as officers of the people. However, their role as elders changed over time. In some tr...

What Can We Learn From the Woman Caught in Adultery?
In our culture, the woman caught in adultery has a particularly glaring example. Jesus tells her to stop sinning and to walk in the light. Jesus does not make excuses for her sin because of her childhood or the abusive husband she was born into. Nor does he call the man her husband or her accomplice by name. Instead, he tells her to stop sinning and to stop settling for intimate relationships. The first thing that Jesus does in response to the woman’s accusers is to call her to repentance. He...
Listen To Him
We have voices and opinions and in the story, our opinion is most likely the same as of the Pharisees and scribes. We can quickly do the same, judge the woman and say that this woman is guilty of adultery and it is only right to be stoned to death as per the law required. But wait, here’s something more. The Lord Jesus said whoever is without sin should be the first to throw a stone. Who among us is without sin? The Bible says “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Roman 3:2...
Jesus does not say explicitly that he forgives the woman, but such is the implication of his saying he does not condemn her and then telling her to not sin again. So here we seem to have another occasion when Jesus mediates the forgiveness of God (cf. Mt 9:1-8; Mk 2:3-12; Lk 5:18-26; 7:36-50).
