1 Chronicles 16:1-43; Ezekiel 16:35-63; John 6:1-21
For thou hast been … a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat … Isaiah 25:4
He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 8:7
This woman, brought in judgment to the Lord came to appreciate Him as her refuge from the storm and shadow from the heat. In no way did He condone her sin, but His powerful statement to her accusers caused them to depart, convicted of their own sin rather than condemning hers. Only He had the purity to remain. He did, and subsequently gave her the opportunity to live a transformed life. May His compassion be ours too! —Philip A. Kaye
Rescue the perishing, care for the dying;
Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save. —Fanny J. Crosby
