John 8:1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 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. 7 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. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 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. 10 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? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. 12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Living Water Out Of Dust
.. God is planting this word into our hearts so that it comes out at that right time for the glory of God. And what is coming out – those springs of living water. You are living, you are alive, you are a new creation in Christ. That is what you are, everything changes. Don’t listen to the Devil, he’s a thief, he’s a liar and sadly so many Christians listen to him. He’ll always appeal to the logic but you’re not of the logic – you are of the faith ..the miraculous, you are of the word of God – you’re what He says over you..
Grace Meets You In The Dust
.. And so Jesus says to this woman – she remains, all the rest have gone. Isn’t it interesting she’s still there. What are we seeing? Grace is meeting you in the dust. Grace doesn’t ignore sin but it steps in to our shame and that’s what He’s doing here with her.. And that is what grace has done with you and I brothers and sisters. There are things we’ve been ashamed of but grace is greater and it steps in and takes the place..
A Wonderful Story
.. That’s why that woman went away saved and we shall see her in heaven amongst the saints. Isn’t this a wonderful story? Isn’t it wonderful when the Spirit opens it up and how we too in many many ways identify aswell with it, we see how God works with us. us.
An Affection To Obey
.. So there we are brothers and sisters – ‘ Grace That Meets Us In The Dust. ‘ That grace and that mercy and it’s mercy that applies that grace – that pardon that forgiveness. Wonderful! When you are touched by the grace and mercy of God there is something within you that wants to yield, that wants to obey, that wants to do it right to please Him. You see how God works that godly affection within our hearts, it’s absolutely profound.
