Sweaty, naked, bruised, dirty, and at the feet of Jesus. This is the picture of the woman caught in adultery. We all know this historical event of when Jesus forgives a woman, whom He knows without a doubt that she is guilty. In this series I will be delving into many aspects of this event. There is so much more than just the forgiveness of sins in this wonderful yet challenging story.
To kick this series off, I want to give us the picture of this story: You are being dragged through the streets by your own people. Naked, covered in sweat, dirt, and the smells of sex. You are being punched, spit on, and called a whore. All of a sudden you are theown down at the feet of a man called a Rabbi and even rumours that he is the messiah. You hear them asking whether to kill you or not as you see people picking up stones.
I will stop the image here for now because the ending of this series will cover the end of this amazing encounter of Gods love in more than the one way we have grown to know.
