WHAT SAYS YOU ?
Pastor Johnny Ogletree,III
John 8:1-11 (NASB)
"1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, 4 they said to Him, 'Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?' 6 They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. 7 But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, 'He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.' 8 Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. 10 Straightening up, Jesus said to her, 'Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?' 11 She said, 'No one, Lord.' And Jesus said, 'I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more.'"
The Word
This message focuses on a woman brought before Jesus by The Pharisees. This woman was an adulteress whom the Pharisees caught in the act.

If they were then they could toss the first stone and began to write on the ground. One by one, they left Jesus's presences beginning with the older ones, leaving behind Jesus and the woman. Jesus then asks her, "Woman, where are they? DID THEY CONDEMN YOU?". She answers, "NO ONE, Lord" and Jesus send her forth into the world saying, "I DO NOT condemn you, either. Go. From now on SIN NO MORE."
