Genesis Chapter 8

Jesus went back to the Temple after preaching near the Mount of Olives. His people sat down and Jesus started to teach them. A woman had committed adultery and had just stood in front of the crowds. People began to trap Jesus and asked questions about the woman who has done bad. The people told Jesus that Moses gave them the Law that any woman will be stoned to death. 

Jesus responded by writing with His finger on the ground and saying, “Whichever one of you people who has committed no sin will throw one stone at the woman.” The older people left first and the woman stood there with Jesus. The woman said that there was no one left to condemn her and Jesus told the woman to never sin again and leave. 

Jesus told the Pharisees that He is the light of the world. The Pharisees wanted to know if Jesus should understand the official orders of where He came from or going. Jesus said, “You deceive judgments in a bad way; I pass them on to no one, so My judgments are true because the Father’s with me and testifies on My own behalf. If you knew Me well, you Would’ve known My Father also.” 

Jesus told the people that they can’t go where Jesus is going and that they will die in their sins for not believing that He is what He is. The people didn’t understand and know that Jesus was talking to them about the Father. Jesus told the people that He is not of this world, but that the people belong in this world. Jesus comes from above only, but that He always does what pleases the Father.

Jesus told the people about obeying His teachings and that the people will be His disciples. Jesus is the truth and that He will set the people free. If God really were their Father, the people would love Jesus because Jesus came from God and He’s there. Jesus also told them that the devil, Satan, is the father of all lies. But Jesus told them the exact truth: He who comes from God listens to God and obeys His words.

Jesus told the people that He has no demon inside, but He honors the Father, and the people have no honor for Him. Abraham and the prophets died, yet He said that whoever follows Jesus’ teachings shall not die. Jesus approached at the right hour when Abraham saw and felt rejoiced in Him. The people said to Him, “Are you not 50 years old and haven’t seen Abraham?” Jesus said, “Before Abraham came into this world, I am.” The people threw stones at him when Jesus had left the temple because they didn’t believe what Jesus had said.
