Daily Bible Reading - August 2020 God's Life-Giving Word of Forgiveness and Mercyનમૂનો

  

August 30

Introduction

The religious leaders bring to Jesus a woman caught in adultery and seek to test him by asking for his judgment in the matter. Jesus once again confounds them with his response. 

Scripture Reading 

John 8:1-11

Today’s Key Verse: John 8:2b

All the people gathered around [Jesus], and he sat down and began to teach them.

Reflect

The Law of Moses required that, in matters of adultery, two witnesses were needed (Deuteronomy 17:6; 19:15). Thus the Pharisees were in violation of the legal requirements in not presenting witnesses. What is your reaction to how Jesus handled the matter? What did he say to the woman? What does today’s reading teach you about Jesus?

Pray

Lord Jesus, I come before you today with a repentant heart, seeking forgiveness. Thank you for your love and mercy, and for the chance to live a new life in you. Amen.
