I PASS JUDGMENT ON NO ONE / JOHN 8:15

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 8:15

 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

I PASS JUDGMENT ON NO ONE / JOHN 8:15

Jesus was saying that He did not judge by their limited and often hypocritical standards. Of course, in the end, He will judge all of humankind by His own perfect standards (John 8:16, 26).

NEITHER DO I CONDEMN YOU / JOHN 8:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 8:11

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

NEITHER DO I CONDEMN YOU / JOHN 8:11

Jesus’ attitude reflects His mercy and His desire to forgive sin and restore people to a right relationship with God (John 3:16). He does not condemn the woman as if she is unfit for forgiveness but treats her with kindness and patience in order to lead her to repent (to turn from her “life of sin”). If she responds to Jesus’ challenge, she can receive spiritual salvation, no matter what she did in her past (Luke 7:47). 

  1. However, it is most important to also know that Jesus is forgiving the sinner, not accepting the sin of adultery (sexual relations with anyone other than one’s own spouse) and the heartbreak it causes for both adults and children.
  2. What Jesus offers this woman is an opportunity for salvation and a way out of her sinful life. But she will only escape God’s punishment if she turns to live as part of God’s kingdom (Romans 2:1-10).

IF ANY ONE OF YOU IS WITHOUT SIN / JOHN 8:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 8:7

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

IF ANY ONE OF YOU IS WITHOUT SIN / JOHN 8:7

In an effort to trap Jesus, the authorities had actually twisted the law and had possibly even staged this event. This particular method of execution was used when there was a very specific set of circumstances (Deuteronomy 22:23-24) that may or may not have applied here. In addition, the law would have required the execution of both parties involved in sexual relations outside of their own marriages (Leviticus 20:10; Deuteronomy 22:22). Still, this situation presented a real test for Jesus because the Romans did not allow the Jews to carry out death sentences (John 18:31). Yet Jesus could have been accused of not supporting the Jewish law if He simply dismissed the case. Jesus’ answer took away the opportunity for the authorities to trap Him in His own words because He still talked about throwing the stones, so He could not be accused of ignoring the law. However, he actually prevented the authorities from taking action into their own hands. We must be careful not to use Jesus’ words here to justify the tolerance of sin in the church or to treat lightly the moral failure of those who claim to be Christians. To do so means we too are rejecting what the Bible (and thus, God) is saying about sin among God’s people. 

  1. The church’s conduct and response toward sinners outside the church who may have had little chance to respond to God, and its conduct towards those within the church who sin and defy Christ, are two different situations. 
  2. God’s Word teaches that open, unashamed sins committed by those within the church must not be tolerated (Revelation 2:20), but ought to be confronted and exposed (Luke 17:3; 1 Corinthians 5:1-13; 2 Corinthians 2:6-8; Ephesians 5:11; 1 Timothy 4:2; Titus 1:13; 2:15; Revelation 3:19; Matthew 13:30).

GAIN HONOR FOR HIMSELF / JOHN 7:18

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 7:18

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

GAIN HONOR FOR HIMSELF / JOHN 7:18

Jesus points out an all-important standard for testing whether religious speakers and ministers are truly serving God: Do they work for their own glory, try to advance their own position and promote their own purposes? Or do they humbly work to bring honor to God, whatever the cost to them or their own reputations? In evaluating ministers, ask whether their preaching or other ministry brings attention to themselves or to Jesus.

IF ANYONE CHOOSES TO DO GOD’S WILL / JOHN 7:17

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 7:17

 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

IF ANYONE CHOOSES TO DO GOD’S WILL / JOHN 7:17

God’s will refers to His desires and plans that are based on His character and purposes. True saving faith – the kind that surrenders control of one’s life to God and keeps the individual in a right relationship with Him – requires an earnest desire and commitment to do God’s will. To truly believe in Christ is to be devoted to obeying God, knowing that God requires a practical, active faith (John 1:12; John 5:24).

IT HATES ME / JOHN 7:6-7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 7:6-7

Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. 7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

IT HATES ME / JOHN 7:6-7

The world (most people, the worldly system and society apart from God) hated Jesus because He exposed its evil and proclaimed that all people who remain separated from God are spiritually and morally corrupt, selfish and opposed to God (John 2:14-16; 3:19-20; 5:30-47). Throughout His ministry, Jesus condemned injustice, cruelty and all forms of immoral behavior. His bold and uncompromising message challenged and exposed human sinfulness. Jesus preached a message that is the opposite of ministers who claim to preach only a “positive gospel” – one that does not include a clear godly demand for true repentance and righteousness (turning from our own sinful way, following God and doing what His Word says is right).

FEAST OF TABERNACLES / JOHN 7:2-3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 7:2-3

Now the Jew’s feast of tabernacles was at hand. 3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.

FEAST OF TABERNACLES / JOHN 7:2-3

The “Feast of Tabernacles” was the great feast in the Jewish year celebrating the completion of the harvest and remembering God’s goodness to Israel as they wandered in the desert following their exodus (Israel’s mass departure from slavery in Egypt in 1445 B.C.). During this festival, the people lived in booths or tabernacles (or tents) for the seven days of the feast (Leviticus 23:34-43; Zechariah 14:16-19).

JESUS HAD KNOWN FROM THE BEGINNING / JOHN 6:64

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 6:64

Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him.

JESUS HAD KNOWN FROM THE BEGINNING / JOHN 6:64

It is not completely clear what “the beginning” means. This may mean that Jesus always knew the strong pull in Judas’ character toward wrong behaviors and what he would do. Or it may refer to the point in time when Judas began to drift from his original faith and formed plans to betray Him. Either way, Judas had the same choice as the other eleven disciples. Perhaps he was never completely committed to Jesus, but it seems as if Judas truly believed at first because he is described as a close, trusted friend of Jesus (Psalms 41:9; John 13:18). Jesus had made Himself and His power available to all of His disciples, including Judas (John 2:23-24; Matthew 10:1-15). However, at some point Judas became disappointed in his expectations of Christ and turned away by his own choice (Acts 1:25) – he did not have to betray Jesus. Though it was specifically prophesied that Jesus would be betrayed, the specific traitor, or betrayer, was not predestined or predetermined. Judas’ choice to yield to the enemy and the resulting tragedy serves as a warning to every follower of Christ. We must never allow friendship with the world to turn us away from devotion to Christ (Hebrews 10:29; 12:25; James 4:4).

EATS MY FLESH AND DRINKS MY BLOOD / JOHN 6:54

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 6:54

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

EATS MY FLESH AND DRINKS MY BLOOD / JOHN 6:54

We receive spiritual life by actively believing in Christ and sharing in the life-restoring benefits of His death on the cross for our sins (Romans 3:24-25; 1 John 1:7). We continue to experience His life as we remain in a close personal relationship with Christ and His Word. Compare John 6:53 with John 6:63, where He says, “The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life,” and John 6:35, where He says, “I am the bread of life.” We are fed spiritually and share Christ’s life as we continue to trust Him, spending consistent time in prayer and building our lives on God’s Word. 

  1. Jesus is the living Word (John 1:1-5); the Bible is the written Word (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21). Jesus calls Himself the “bread of life” (John 6:35), and on other occasions He relates this bread to the Word of God: “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). In this way, we eat His flesh, and we grow in a relationship with Him; this happens as we receive and respond to (obey) God’s Word (John 6:63).
  2. We are spiritually saved by God’s grace (His undeserved favor, love, spiritual enablement) and by the Spirit’s life-transforming power when we first hear, receive and respond to God’s Word (John 1:12; Acts 2:41). We continue to experience the benefits of salvation by remaining in a devoted relationship with Christ and by continuing to feed on God’s Word. We are to read, obey and absorb its truths into our hearts (1 Timothy 4:13-16: James 1:21). It is spiritually fatal to pull away from a relationship with Christ or to neglect His Word. 
  3. This passage is not a direct reference to “the Lord’s Supper” (the church sacrament of communion). Jesus is not teaching that receiving communion is necessary for eternal life or that this ceremony somehow gives us the benefits of salvation. He clearly states throughout this passage that faith is the key element (John 6:35; John 6:40; John 6:47; John 6:51).

THE FATHER … DRAWS HIM / JOHN 6:44

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) John 6:44

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

THE FATHER … DRAWS HIM / JOHN 6:44

The Father draws people to Jesus through the Holy Spirit, who opens people’s minds to God’s truth. The Holy Spirit convinces their consciences of the presence of sin in their lives and their need for God (John 16:8-11). God’s invitation goes out to all people, as Jesus says: “I … will draw all men” (John 12:32). But this offer does not mean we must accept the invitation; we can reject it if we choose (Matthew 23:37, “but you were not willing”). This shows the importance of responding to God’s Spirit. If we ever sense something drawing us to God, it is a dangerous thing to resist because we cannot bring ourselves to Him whenever and however we please. We can respond to God only by His grace (undeserved favor, God-given ability, John 6:65).
