Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.  Early in the morning he went back to the Temple area. The people all came to him, and he sat and taught them. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought a woman they had caught in bed with a man who was not her husband. They forced her to stand in front of the people. They said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The Law of Moses commands us to stone to death any such woman. What do you say we should do?” They were saying this to trick Jesus. They wanted to catch him saying something wrong so that they could have a charge against him. But Jesus stooped down and started writing on the ground with his finger. The Jewish leaders continued to ask him their question. So he stood up and said, “Anyone here who has never sinned should throw the first stone at her.”  Then Jesus stooped down again and wrote on the ground. When they heard this, they began to leave one by one. The older men left first, and then the others. Jesus was left alone with the woman standing there in front of him.  He looked up again and said to her, “Where did they all go? Did no one judge you guilty?” She answered, “No one, sir.” Then Jesus said, “I don’t judge you either. You can go now, but don’t sin again.” John 8:1–11ERV: These verses basically speak for themselves on ‘Love The Sinner, Hate The Sin’ Jesus is confronted with a woman caught in adultery. Instead of joining the accusers, He exposes their hypocrisy, invites anyone without sin to cast the first stone, and then refuses to condemn her. He tells her to go and sin no more, showing mercy that calls for repentance.

“Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, I know I’ve done wrong and I need You. I believe You died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and in blaming others for their sins and trust You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving me and giving me new life. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Precious Name Amen.”
