BREAKING THE LAW
John 8:7 " If anyone of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw the stone on her.."
Reading Scripture: John 8:1-31
1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2At dawn He appeared again in the temple court where all people gather around Him to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus Teacher, this woman is caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the law of Moses commanded us to stone such woman. Now What do you say? 7 When they kept on asking Jesus stood up and said to them " If anyone of you is without sin, let him be the first throw the stone on her." 9 Those who heard begun to go away at a time. 10 Jesus straightened up and ask her, " Where are they? Has no one condemned you? 11 " No one sir", she said. "Then neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more."
According to the law of Moses those commits crime will be brought to the temple court and stoned to death. But why is it that only the woman has brought into trial? where is his partner in crime? it must have be two people involve on such crime. That makes the story interesting. On how the society practice gender bias in the implementation that brought question also to the part of the pharisees and teachers of law? Had they not broken the law as well? Thats make the story more interesting!
The Teachers of law and the Pharisees accusing Jesus of teaching against the law of Moses by teaching about Love, forgiveness, compassion and justice. They used the scenario to trap Him. But Jesus astounding statement have brought them into silence....
