Introduction
Have you ever felt the sting of judgment? We all live in a world quick to point fingers and cast stones. Today, let's turn our attention to John 8:3-11, the story of the woman caught in adultery. This powerful narrative challenges our assumptions about judgment and reminds us of the transformative power of grace.
John 8:3-11 NIV
The Accusation and the Trap
Jesus' Insightful Response
Judging Others
7 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Emphasize the weight of a judgmental spirit: Judging others burdens us and hinders our own spiritual growth. We all have flaws, and focusing on them in others blinds us to our own need for improvement.
