Day 23

Read John 8:1-8

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.

But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

a. Hope and assurance?
b. Gratitude?
c. Clearer Motives?

6. Complete this prayer: Lord Jesus, I want to experience your grace much more because....

7. Pray specifically about a situation that God lays on your heart in this moment.

8. Journal any thoughts you may have.
