John 7:37-8:20
'Rivers
of living water' were flowing out of Jesus' heart. 'No man ever spoke
like this man'! 'The Spirit' was speaking through Him with power. Still,
there were those who 'wanted to arrest Him' (37-39,44,46). Stop
'throwing stones' (1-11)! Only Jesus had the right to point the finger
at this woman. He refused to do so. He bore her sins and our sins on the
Cross (1 Peter 2:24). Jesus spoke to the woman of both forgiveness and
holiness (11). Jesus said, 'I am the light of the world' (12). This
brought an immediate reaction from the 'Pharisees': 'Your testimony is
not true' (13). They were 'disguised as angels of light' (2 Corinthians
11:14). They 'loved darkness rather than light' (3:19). Their 'darkness'
was exposed by 'the Light of the world'. These evil men could do
nothing until God's time (19-20).
