LEGALISM , FACE
TO FACE WITH THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST
(John 8:1-11 ) "
1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came
to him, and he sat down and taught them. 3
And the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery , and
placing her in the midst , 4 they said to him , Master, this woman was caught in
the act of adultery . 5 In the Law
Moses commanded us to stone such women . You therefore, what do you say ? 6 Further it said
tempting him , to accuse him. But
Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger . 7
So when they continued asking him, he straightened up and said, Let him who is
without sin be the first to throw a stone at her . 8
And again he stooped to the ground , and wrote on the ground. 9
And they which heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by
one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone , and
the woman standing in the midst . 10
Jesus straightened up and saw none but the woman , he said, Woman, where are
those thine accusers? Did no one
condemn you ? 11 She said, No
man , Lord. And
Jesus said , Neither do I condemn thee: go , and sin no more.
"
INTRODUCTION :There in the church very
subtle seduction . Many
Christians are numb thinking more and more on their own needs and forget others.
It
seems that many believers have lost the purpose of his call to serve.
Many
times we are so immersed in our own affairs that we take the time to show others
mercy that Jesus showed us sometime. We
are so indifferent to the pain of others that we do not repair the suffering and
the willingness of others to receive a word of comfort . How
often have this same attitude towards those who commit sin through ignorance and
need our help?
FOR
EXAMPLE : We see in (John 7:53) , as " every man went to his house."
That
is, having had the Master so close and then to hear his teachings , all left
without saying anything. I
add : To make their own, completely disinterested , with loads in their
consciences , but more willing to deal with their own stuff.So
indifferent that they forgot the best: None invite Jesus ! How many of us do the same ?
I
hope to God it does not happen the same with us , as Jesus so
close.It
is generally accepted that this section ( Chapter 8) does not belong to this
context in John. Most
manuscripts either omitted or this context marked with asterisks to indicate
doubt. At
the same time , this section features old backup and there is no reason to
suppose that there is a genuine translation .
MESSAGE :In (John
8:1 ) , says: " And Jesus went to the Mount of Olives ." He knew where to go. I
think that would have changed their plans if they had invited some of those who
heard his teachings. Jesus was a man with purpose.
When
a person knows its purpose has vision and this vision will guide the provision .
Between Jesus and his
goal was a cross . The cross was the means not
the goal itself .
Mount of Olives :
Meaning and Background .This
mountain was situated opposite the city and separated from it by the Kidron
Valley . At
its peak had a shrine to the Lord ( 2 Samuel 15:32) " When David arrived at the
summit of the mount , where he worshiped God , behold, Hushai the Archite came
to meet him with his coat torn and earth on his head " .
David came to the
summit to worship God .Ezekiel
saw the glory of the Lord shining upon this mountain to leave Jerusalem Temple
(Ezekiel 11:23) " And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city ,
and stood upon the mountain which is east of the city " .
Zechariah
had a prophetic vision of the return of the Lord with all His saints , resting
his feet on the Mount of Olives , and delivering His people ( Zechariah 14:4,5 )
" 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of
Olives , which is before Jerusalem on the east , and the mount of Olives shall
cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, forming a great
valley, and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and the other half southward. 5
And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains , for the valley of the
mountains shall reach unto Azal shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in
the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come , and all the
saints . "
(Acts
1:11-12 ) " 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee , why stand ye gazing up into
heaven ? This
same Jesus , which is taken up from you into heaven , shall so come as you have
seen him go into heaven. 12
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near
Jerusalem , a day's journey of rest. " Near
the town of Bethany , on the eastern side , there was the ascension of our Lord
Jesus Christ .
The
incident occurred while he was teaching in the temple. Jesus
spoke in the place of the temple where the offerings were put ( John 8:20 ) "
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple , and no one
arrested him , because it was not yet his time " where lamps
were lit to symbolize the pillar of fire that guided the Israelites in the
wilderness ( Exodus 13:21,22 ) " 21 and the Lord went before them by day in a
pillar of cloud to lead them the way , and by night in
a pillar of fire to give them light , to go by day and night. 22
He took not away before the people pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire
by night . "
In this context ,
Jesus claimed to be the light of the world . The
pillar of fire represents the presence, protection and guidance of God.
Jesus brings
the presence , protection and guidance of God. The
scribes and Pharisees sought to Jesus at a time when Jesus was surrounded by a
crowd .Temple
Here the word most often applies to the Temple in Jerusalem to worship the Lord.
(
Joel 3:5 ) " Because ye have taken my silver and my gold , and my goodly
pleasant things in your temples ," ( Ezra 1:7 ) " Cyrus the king brought forth
the vessels of the house of the LORD , which Nebuchadnezzar had
taken from Jerusalem , and had put them in the house of his gods " and (Ezra
5:14) " and the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God , which
Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple in Jerusalem and the had
brought into the temple of Babylon , Cyrus the king took out of the temple of
Babylon , and they were delivered to Sesbasar , whom he had made governor "
.
(
Acts 19:27 ) "And not only is there danger that this our business into disrepute
, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised , and
should be destroyed the majesty of her whom venerated throughout Asia
, and the whole world . "
In
the temple were made every sacrifice unto the Lord , the God of
Israel.
The
Scribes and Pharisees brought this woman commits adultery to place offerings.
This seems irreverent.
At
adulterers as passages (Deuteronomy 22:22-24 ) " 22 If a man be found lying with
a woman married to an husband , both shall die, the man who lay with the woman ,
and the woman : so shalt thou put evil away of
Israel. 23
If a virgin betrothed to a husband , and a man find her in the city , and lie
with her, 24 then you shall bring them both to the city gate and stone them ,
and die , the damsel, because she cried not in
the city , and the man because he humbled his neighbor 's wife ; you must purge
the evil from among you. "
They were to be taken to
the city gate . As
for the adultery law stated the following : The adulterer with married woman was
punishable by death . Jewish
leaders have rejected the law by arresting the woman alone . The
Act required that both people involved stoning in adultery ( Deut 22:22) ;
Expresses the death of both ) . Behind all this was
a covert intention . The
intention was to make them appear publicly as contrary to the authorities, both
religious and civil . The
crucial point was the attitude of Jesus toward the law of Moses. Religious
leaders lost no time in calling attention to the commandment of Moses in the
case of a flagrant act of adultery.
<<
Jesus wrote on the ground , and wrote on the ground ..... >>. The
leaders used the woman as a trap to ensnare Jesus. If
I said no apedrearse should the woman would accuse him of violating the Law of
Moses . If
called to run , he would be charged against the Romans, who did not allow the
Jews to carry out their own executions . (
John 18:31 ) "Then said Pilate unto them, Take him yourselves and judge him
according to your law . And
the Jews said : We are not allowed to kill anyone. "
(John
8:7 ) "And they continued asking him , he straightened up and said, Let him who
is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her ."The
language Jesus used here may imply that Jesus knew that the woman 's accusers
were themselves guilty of the same of what she accused .
How
often we have the same flaws as bitterly criticize in others!He
did none of these things , but returned challenged the accusers : " Let him who
is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." The
Lord puts the matter on their own consciences legal subtlety Jesus transforms a
moral issue . Jesus
shows mercy and compassion. Meet and see about the hearts.
The
religious believe they can bring to this woman as a sinner . This
is a significant statement in regard to judging others. As
Jesus ratified the applicable punishment for adultery was not possible to accuse
him of being against the law
But
to say that only those who were without sin could cast the first stone ,
highlighted the importance of compassion and forgiveness. One
question: When you discover another in sin , are you quick to judge ?
Do
so is to act as if he had never sinned . It is God who must judge , not
us. To us
to show forgiveness and compassion.
(John
8:8 ) "And he bent down toward the ground , and wrote on the ground."
With
the finger of God was written in stone (Ex 24:12 ) , when he said : "The Lord
said to Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee
tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written for their instruction . "
Soon
will come the fulfillment of prophecy when my words will write them on the
tablet of their heart. As
was written (Jeremiah 31:33 ) " But this is the covenant I will make with the
house of Israel after those days , saith the Lord : I will put my law in their
inward parts, and write it in their hearts: and I will be their God, and they shall
be my people. "
It
is also written (Ezekiel 36:25,26 ) "I will sprinkle clean water upon you , and
ye shall be clean from all your filthiness and from all your idols I will
cleanse you . I
will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you take away from your
body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. "Brothers
know , the law became an idol in the heart of the religious , to date many have
this idol yet. Let us be careful
that this happen to us . We
say then that : is bad this blessed Word of God take root in our hearts ?
Not at all . Let
me tell you, brothers : If you belong to Jesus , and are on your mind and in
your heart to manifest the power and presence of God in your life. It's in easy to break a heart
.
(John
8:9 ) " And they which heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out
one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left
alone , and the woman standing in the middle " . When
Jesus said that only those who could not sinned cast the first stone , leaders
away in silence , from the oldest to the youngest . Clearly
the adult men were more aware of their sins than younger . But
whatever your age , take a candid look at his life. Acknowledge
your sin nature and find ways to help others rather than hurt them. The
withdrawal of the accusers , from the largest down, brings out the end of the
story .
(John
8:10,11 ) " 10 Jesus straightened up and saw none but the woman , he said,
Woman, where are those thine accusers? Did no one condemn you ? 11 She said, No man , Lord. And
Jesus said , Neither do I condemn thee: go , and sin no more. " Here's
compassion combined with strong encouragement , a good example of the true
treatment of offenders . There
is no evidence of Jesus condoning adultery, is clearly seen in Jesus' advice to
women.
When
confronted with a problem we must never separate LOVE AND TRUTH. Truth is
synonymous with change , build BUILDS . No need to divorce the truth
of love . The truth must be
said in love. Love and truth are fused
healers. Jesus
came to heal all these sufferings and wounds caused by errors and the
troublemakers.
That's
why it is very important to be instructed in the Sound Doctrine of Christ in
order to harmonize with what Jesus is healing the wounds that lead to death.
And
then the remnant church handles above the healing process . ( John 8:11 ) " She said, No man
, Lord. And
Jesus said , Neither do I condemn thee: go , and sin no more. " ( Mat 3:8 ) "
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance."
We
see that Jesus did not condemn the woman caught in adultery , but neither I
overlook your sin. She told him to leave her life
of sin . Jesus
is willing to forgive any sin in your life , but confession and repentance mean
a change of heart . (
Hebrews 9:27-28 ) " 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, and after
this the judgment , 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many, will
appear
a second time , not to bear sin, but to save those who wait for Him "
.
In
Israel , women's activity was related to the whole domestic life could handle
the flocks ( Ex. 2:16) " And as he sat by the well, had seven daughters: the
priest of Midian came to draw water to
fill the troughs to water the sheep of his father " , spinning wool and making
dresses for the family, knitting and sewing to increase the income of the family
and to help the unfortunate , and also collected the water , and ground
the grain necessary for daily bread dough and preparing the food , it was also
their responsibility to raise and educate their children and supervise the
servants .
The
New Testament shows more clearly the high position of women , Jesus always had
great regard for women : Martha and Mary were at home ; healed Mary Magdalene ,
Joanna and Susanna helped him with his possessions (Luke 8:2 ,
3 ) " 2 and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities,
Mary called Magdalene , out of whom went seven devils , 3 and Joanna the wife of
Herod's Chuza , and Susanna, and many others that
served as their property , "( Luke 10:38,39 ) " 38 as they were traveling along,
He entered a village where a woman named Martha received him into her house.
39
And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet , and heard his
word. "
He
forgave and saved the sinner (Luke 7:37-50 ) " 37 Then a woman in the city who
was a sinner , when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house ,
brought an alabaster flask of ointment, 38 and stood
behind him at his feet weeping , she began to wet his feet with tears , and
wiped them with her hair , and kissed his feet , and anointed them with the
ointment. 39
When he saw the Pharisee who had invited him , said to himself, If this man were
a prophet , would know who and what manner of woman this is who is touching him,
she is a sinner . 40
And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon , I have something to tell you.
And he saith unto him , Master.
41
A certain creditor had two debtors : the one owed five hundred pence, and the
other fifty ; 42 And when they had nothing to pay, he forgave them both.
Tell me therefore ,
which of them will love him more ? 43
Simon answered and said, I suppose that he to whom he forgave most .
And he said , Thou
hast rightly judged. 44 And he turned
to the woman and said to Simon, Seest thou this woman ? I
entered your house , you gave me no water for my feet, but she wet my feet with
her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45
You gave me no kiss, but from the time I entered , has not stopped kissing my
feet. 46
You did not anoint my head with oil , but she has anointed my feet with ointment
. 47
Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven , for she loved much more
he who is forgiven little , loves little . 48 And she said, Thy
sins are forgiven . 49
And those who sat at table with him began to say within themselves, Who is this
who even forgives sins? 50 And he
said to the woman : Your faith has saved you , go in peace "
.
The
risen Lord appeared to them first, and had them the honor of being the first to
claim victory (Matthew 28:9-10 ) " 9 behold, Jesus met them , saying, All hail !
They came to
him , clasped his feet and worshiped him. 10
Then Jesus said unto them , Fear not: Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee ,
and there they will see me , "( Luke 24:9-11 ) " 9 and returned from the
sepulcher , and told all these things to the eleven and to all
the others . 10
It was Mary Magdalene , and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the others
with them who told these things to the apostles . 11
But to them the words seemed crazy over them, and they believed them not .
"
He
mentions many women who have been their partners in the work of God and have
been helpful in their own activities (Romans 16:2-4,6 ) " 2 that you receive her
in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints ,
and help her in whatever she may need from you, for she has helped many people,
including me . 3
Greet Priscilla and Aquila , my fellow workers in Christ Jesus , 4 who risked
their lives for me , to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches
of the Gentiles . 6 Greet
Mary, who has worked hard for you " ;(
Philippians 4:3 ) " 3 And I beg you also , true companion, help these women who
labored with me in the gospel , with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers ,
whose names are in the book of life" .
There
was also deaconesses in the early church (Romans 16:1-2 ) " 1 I commend to you
our sister Phoebe, a deaconess of the church in Cencrea , 2 That ye receive her
in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints , and help
her in whatever she may need from you, for she has helped many people, including
me . "(
1 Timothy 3:11) " their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober , faithful in all
things " . It
clearly states that , with respect to salvation and their position in Christ ,
there is neither male nor female ( Galatians 3:28 ) "There is neither Jew nor
Greek , neither slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ
Jesus. "
CONCLUSION :The
Bible says in ( Romans 13:10 ) "Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore
the fulfillment of the Law is love ."
I
appeal to the women who have been injured with deep marks of rejection,
unforgiveness, lack of love , lack of attention , tenderness , with the desire
to be accepted , but have been an object of contempt . I tell you,
woman , Jesus is a balm for you.
I
also call upon the men in recognition of their sins and as a sign of repentance
, want to apologize to God for the mistreatment of their wives. Many
of whom have committed these offenses because they saw their own parents do
.
I
call upon all men and women, to practice compassion and mercy he showed us our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ . Amen
