In the first message of “The Red Letter Series: Caught In The Act” Pastor Brittany views Jesus and the woman caught in the act of adultery through the eyes of a loving parent. Jesus doesn’t address the woman right away, He allows her to sit in her shame and consider what she had done. He didn’t address the Pharisees right away either, instead He wrote on the ground.
The Pharisees wanted Him to condemn her so they could accuse her, she was afraid for her life. Jesus refused to condemn her, and did not allow the Pharisees to do so either. As only Jesus could, He foreshadowed that He would deal with her sin, and for the sins of all who choose to believe in Him, not as our executioner but as our Savior.
