MONDAY BIBLE STUDY MESSAGE

BY PASTOR W. F. KUMUYI

THE SHINNING LIGHT OF THE SAVIOUR’S WISDOM
John 8:1-11

He went to the Mount for:
*solitude
*meditation
*inventory
*prayer
*renewal
*reflection
*refreshing
"we must always find time to recharge our batteries". So also is our lives, we have to charge our batteries constantly else we become dull, dreary and finally dead
Luke 21:36-38; 19:47; Acts 5:19-21,42

From this study, we see Jesus turned
*rude interruption to divine intervention
*condemnation to conversion (positive construction)
"As though He heard them not"- it is not everything you hear that you talk on otherwise you'll have your life choked up

1. A WICKED ATTEMPT TO CONFOUND THE SAVIOUR
2. HIS WISE ANSWER TO. CONVICT THE SCHEMERS
3. THE WONDERFUL ASSURANCE FOR CONVERTED SOULS

1. A WICKED ATTEMPT TO CONFOUND THE SAVIOUR
John 8:1-5
The Pharisees were not good people. They were asking the question to discredit and condemn Jesus (verses 4,6)
Be very careful with people that come to flatter you, they are throwing the bait just to catch you
John 18:31; Acts 6:11
Considering the Pharisees and their deeds: Matthew 12:14; 16:1,4,6; Mark 10:2; 11:17,18; 12:13-17.
Jesus overcame all the attempts of the Pharisees every time

2. HIS WISE ANSWER TO CONVICT THE SCHEMERS
John 8:6-9

-wise action: He heard but was quiet and acted as though He never heard. In triumphant quietness the Pharisees saw that he is not fearful, furious nor fretting.
-wise approach: He diverted their attention from the woman to themselves. This approach destabilized 
-wise attitude: He was peaceful and poised. This gave the assurance to those who are learning the heavenly truth from him as Master
-wise answer: His answer shut them up and they could say anything further. It brought undeniable conviction upon them.
- wise admonition: His wise admonition confirmed his teaching and serves as warning as we approach the judgement day
John 8:6; Psalm 38:12-14; 39:1,2; Ezekiel 3:26,27; John 8:7,8; Job 34:21
"take your time and be quiet when they are putting pressure on you, that time of quietness will keep you from saying something unprofitable and help you speak the needful"
Psalms 44:20,21; 139:1-12
Sinners accusing another sinner even unto death, what hypocrisy is that? Romans 2:1-3; I John 3:20
Matthew 7:1,2

3. THE WONDERFUL ASSURANCE FOR CONVERTED SOULS
John 8:10,11

John 8:11 (KJV)  "Neither do I condemn thee:" - Jesus Christ wasn't saying that sin is not condemned, of course adultery is condemned, fornication is condemned, and all other sin is condemned. Only that she as a person is not condemned to death but grace is available to free her. He continued "go, and sin no more" John 3:17; Romans 8:1,2; John 8:11; 5:14; Romans 6:1,6,11,12,18,22; Ephesians 4:22,24,25,28; I Peter 2:1-3
