Encounter with God (1) – The Woman Caught in Adultery

By Rev. Jeremiah Cheung

There is a special revelation in John 14:8-9. Philip asked the Lord, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” Jesus answered him by saying, “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?”

Seeing Jesus is seeing the Heavenly Father. To encounter the Lord Jesus is to encounter God. When a person encounters the Lord, what changes will occur in him? What happens to his understanding of God? Let us look at a woman caught in adultery and her encounter with the Lord.

1. The Lord is a Lord that does not condemn us for our sins

2. The Lord is a Lord who makes no compromise at all with sin

3. The Lord is a Lord full of wisdom and mercy.
