Day 8: Shared by Kensi

In John 8, there are a few powerful moments that really stand out.

One that I found particularly striking is the story of the woman caught in adultery. The religious leaders bring her to Jesus, hoping to trap him with a tough question: should they follow the law and stone her, or show mercy? Jesus responds so wisely, telling them, “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” His response not only reveals his deep understanding of grace but also exposes the hypocrisy of those who were quick to judge.

How often do we find ourselves in the space ready to cast stones rather than offer grace and understanding?

Later, Jesus boldly declares, “I am the light of the world.” In a time when people were looking for a savior, this statement was a radical reminder of Jesus’ divine identity. It’s a powerful invitation to follow him and be led out of darkness. John 8 is filled with layers of wisdom, grace, and conviction. It serves as a reminder of Jesus’ deep compassion, his divine identity, and the importance of humility in recognizing truth.
