In John 8 Jesus has an encounter with a woman and her accusers that when truly understood is like looking into a mirror at ourselves. Every one of us is represented in this story. Both the location and the timing of this encounter is very significant.

It is here that a woman caught in the act of adultery is brought to the Temple in Jerusalem to Jesus to see what He will do. His response is beautiful. Jesus turns the tables on the accusers, bends down, and writes in the earth, saying. "the one who is without sin, throw the first stone."

There is a great deal of speculation about what Jesus wrote. But the Old Testament in Jeremiah 17 actually shows us why Jesus wrote in the earth. And the reason is very sobering.

Join us this week as we see the heart of God's grace revealed in the encounter with the Woman at the Temple.
