In this passage of the adulterous woman, Jesus demonstrates a beautiful resonance between love and justice. As the religious leaders persist in their testing and scrutinizing of Jesus, the woman is brought before him. As a crowd gathers, the Pharisees try to trap Jesus with their questions. In his iconic response, Jesus doesn’t ignore the law, he magnifies it. Pastor Lloyd examines this well-known passage with insights and understanding about sin, forgiveness, guilt, mercy, and new life.
