Title: The Most Tender Story in the New Testament
Scripture: John 8:1-11

(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.

(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."
This is, without question, the most tender and sensitive story in the New Testament. I want you to feel with me the sensitivity, the embarrassment, the humiliation of this woman. She had committed a terrible sin and was walked in on and discovered naked, embarrassed with a man in the very middle of the act of adultery.
I don't think they allowed her time to get dressed. They surely didn't care about her; there is not one suggestion of sensitivity to the woman in the story, except by Jesus. All they cared about was a chance to make a theological football out of her and trap Jesus with one of ...
