Chapters 8 & 9

Chapter 8

The passage of the “Woman Caught in Adultery” reveals to us Christ as the true voice of justice and the true voice of mercy. Let us trust in Christ and his perfect advocacy before the Father.

Scripture: 7:53-8:11, Leviticus 20:10, Romans 3:22, 1 Peter 2:24, 1 John 2:1

Chapter 9

In Chapter 9, we read of Jesus using the miraculous healing of a blind man to indicate how the Pharisees had become blind to God. In this, we learn about the trap of spiritual blindness and how it can be identified, avoided and defused in our own lives.
