John 8:1-11 No Stone to Big to be Put Down

Here's a 5-day Bible reading plan and devotional guide based on the lesson

Devotional: Today's passage reminds us of the incredible power of God's forgiveness. Just as Jesus showed compassion to the woman caught in adultery, He offers us forgiveness and a fresh start.
Reflect on areas in your life where you need God's forgiveness. Remember, no sin is too great for His mercy. How can you extend this same forgiveness to others who have wronged you?
Consider writing a letter of forgiveness (even if you don't send it) to someone who has hurt you, releasing them and yourself from the burden of unforgiveness.

Devotional: The Pharisees in John 8 were quick to judge, but Jesus calls us to a higher standard. Today's reading challenges us to examine our own hearts before judging others. How often do we, like the Pharisees, focus on others' faults while ignoring our own?
Take time to pray, asking God to reveal areas where you may be judgmental. Then, consciously practice compassion today. Look for opportunities to show kindness to someone you might typically criticize or avoid.

Devotional: The story of the adulterous woman showcases the transformative power of grace. Like her, we are all sinners saved by grace. Paul's words in Ephesians remind us that our salvation is a gift, not earned by our own efforts. How has God's grace transformed your life?
Reflect on your journey of faith and write down three specific ways you've experienced God's grace. Share your testimony with someone today, emphasizing God's work in your life rather than your own merits.

Devotional: Jesus told the woman, "Go now and leave your life of sin." This command speaks to the new life we have in Christ. Today's passage emphasizes that in Christ, we are new creations. The old has gone, the new has come! What old habits or thought patterns do you need to leave behind? What does your new life in Christ look like?
Make a commitment to embrace one aspect of your new identity in Christ today, whether it's speaking words of life, serving others, or cultivating a specific fruit of the Spirit.

Devotional: The entire encounter in John 8 is underscored by God's love. Jesus' actions demonstrate the depth of God's love for us, even in our sin. Today's reading calls us to reflect that same love to others. How can you tangibly show God's love to someone today?
Consider reaching out to someone who might feel judged or condemned by society. Offer a listening ear, a helping hand, or simply a word of encouragement.
Remember, as we love others, we reflect the very heart of God who first loved us.
