Daily Devo | Go and Sin No More! (New Testament in a Year, John 8:1-20)

The religious leaders expose a woman caught in adultery, hoping to trap Jesus between the demands of the law and his reputation for mercy. Instead of responding immediately, Jesus calmly exposes the hypocrisy of her accusers by saying that the one without sin should cast the first stone. One by one, they leave, and Jesus, left alone with the woman, offers both grace and truth: he does not condemn her, but he also calls her to "sin no more". Jesus sees our sin as something to heal rather than condemn.Looking for a previous devo? Want to share one with a friend?

How might you discuss or address that question?- These leaders were almost blind to their own sin while exposing the sin of this woman. What can you do to guard against this kind of self-righteousness (which is not righteous at all)? - Prayer: Jesus, thank you for being the Great Physician who seeks to heal our sins rather than condemn us because of them.
