I was the woman caught in adultery<\/h6>\n
Sentenced, judged and condemned\u2026<\/h6>\n
My accusers dragged me through the streets<\/h6>\n
Then threw me before Him~ the rabbi from Jerusalem!<\/h6>\n
Ashamed, ridiculed, I lay shattered at his feet<\/h6>\n
I dare not look at him, broken, I began to weep!<\/h6>\n
\u201cThis woman was caught in the very act of adultery,<\/h6>\n
What say you Rabbi she\u2019s filthy and weak.\u201d<\/h6>\n
Jesus bends down and begins writing in the dirt\u2026<\/h6>\n
Then, he begins to speak~<\/h6>\n
I could not believe what I was hearing His words so gentle and meek<\/h6>\n
Powerful, defying these pious judgmental priests~~<\/h6>\n
Jesus knew their hearts were deceitful, wanting only to set a trap to capture him!<\/h6>\n
The Rabbi was no fool, when he spoke, I held my breath,<\/h6>\n
Then I breathed again as he spoke to them~<\/h6>\n
\u201cLet he who is without sin throw the first stone\u2026\u201d<\/h6>\n
I was shocked, I thought surely, I\u2019d die this day, but one, by one, they dropped their stones and slowly walked away~<\/h6>\n
Trembling and shaken I knelt before Him~<\/h6>\n
\u201cWoman, where are your accusers?\u201d<\/h6>\n
\u201cNowhere my Lord!\u201d<\/h6>\n
\u201cNeither do I condemn you, go, and sin no more!\u201d<\/h6>\n
Tears of joy spilled from my eyes; I had been redeemed; I will not die\u2026<\/h6>\n
My life forever changed!<\/h6>\n
New name, I now proclaim, \u201cI\u2019m a daughter of the King!!\u201d<\/h6>\n

John 8:3-11<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
King James Version<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
3\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,<\/em><\/h6>\n
4\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.<\/em><\/h6>\n
5\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?<\/em><\/h6>\n
6\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.<\/em><\/h6>\n
7\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.<\/em><\/h6>\n
8\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And again he stooped down and\u00a0wrote on the ground.<\/em><\/h6>\n
9\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And they which heard it, being convicted by their own 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.<\/em><\/h6>\n
10\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?<\/em><\/h6>\n
11\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.<\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
