• John 8:1–11

About this sermon

* Luke 23:34-Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. While hanging on the cross, battered, bruised, beaten, brutalized, and bleeding, Jesus in His patience asked God the Father to forgive those who were in the act of putting Him to death. Why? Paul gave the answer in Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." The traits of the patience of Jesus surface in the story found in JOHN 8. In this story, Jesus was confronted by people who hated His guts. They were out to destroy Him, but His patient response toward them resulted in the defeat of His enemies and the deliverance of a woman who was on the verge of execution. This story is about the woman that was taken in the act of adultery and brought to Jesus. We take time to explain this story. What took place here? Why did they bring her to Jesus at the Temple? What were some of the customs behind the story? How did the Lord demonstrate patience with the people involved in this matter? This story demonstrates the incredible wisdom and patience of Jesus. I hope it will bless your heart. It was fun to preach! This message was preached on Sunday morning, November 12, 2023, at Lincoln Land Baptist Church.
