Offense & Forgiveness (A Case Study)

September 22, 2024 • Pastor Jerry Madden

In John 8:2-12, Jesus teaches a profound lesson on offense and forgiveness through the story of the woman caught in adultery. When the scribes and Pharisees attempt to trap Him, Jesus responds with wisdom, shifting the focus from the woman's sin to the accusers' own sinfulness. Convicted by their consciences, the accusers leave, and Jesus offers the woman grace and a call to a transformed life. This story exemplifies the balance of truth and love, urging us to live in the light of Jesus and extend grace to others.
