INTRODUCTION

Near the end of the feast of days, a woman is brought to Jesus by the ruling authorities. These authorities wanted justice. Justice at the highest cost.

She had committed a sin that required the ultimate payment, her life. An act that could only be satisfied with the offender giving his/her life in payment!

Question, where do you fit into this story, Are you the women in need of forgiveness? The self-righteous condemners or one in the crowd looking on?

The greatest lesson we learn from this story is about: Fiveness. Let’s examine what we can learn about FORGIVENESS together!
