How To Love Those You Hate
Love Affair Part 3
February 22, 2009 ~ John 8:1-1


If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Romans 12:18 (NIV)

I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you! John 13:15 (NLT)

John 8:1-11
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" "No one, sir," she said. "Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."




Loving People Like Jesus Involves

1. Valuing Others Like Jesus Values Me.
Jesus said"If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." John 8:7b (NIV)

•Value depends on who made it.
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Genesis 1:27 (NKJV)

•Value depends on what someone will pay.
He paid for you with the precious lifeblood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 1 Peter 1:19 (NLT)

Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, I will take revenge; I will pay them back, says the LORD. Instead, If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads. Romans 12:19-20 (NLT)

2. Accepting Others Like Jesus Accepts Me.
Jesus said"Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" John 8:10b (NIV)

God did not send his son into the world to condemn it, but to save it. John 3:17 (NLT)

Jean 8:1-11 (La Bible du Semeur)

Jean 8
«Va et ne pèche plus»
1 Quant à Jésus, il partit pour le mont des Oliviers. 2 Mais le lendemain, il revint de bonne heure dans la cour du *Temple et tout le peuple se pressa autour de lui; alors il s'assit et se mit à enseigner. 3 Tout à coup, les *spécialistes de la Loi et les *pharisiens traînèrent devant lui une femme qui avait été prise en flagrant délit d'adultère. Ils la firent avancer dans la foule et la placèrent, bien en vue, devant Jésus. 4 ---Maître, lui dirent-ils, cette femme a commis un adultère; elle a été prise sur le fait. 5 Or, dans la *Loi, *Moïse nous a ordonné de lapider les femmes de ce genre. Toi, quel est ton jugement sur ce cas? 6 En lui posant cette question, ils voulaient lui tendre un piège, dans l'espoir de trouver quelque prétexte pour l'accuser.
Mais Jésus se baissa et se mit à écrire du doigt sur le sol. 7 Eux, ils insistaient, répétant leur question. Alors il se releva et leur dit:
---Que celui d'entre vous qui n'a jamais péché lui jette la première pierre! 8 Puis il se baissa de nouveau et se remit à écrire sur le sol. 9 Après avoir entendu ces paroles, ils s'esquivèrent l'un après l'autre, à commencer par les plus âgés, laissant finalement Jésus seul avec la femme, qui était restée au milieu de la cour du Temple. 10 Alors Jésus leva la tête et lui dit:
---Eh bien, où sont donc passés tes accusateurs? Personne ne t'a condamnée? 11 ---Personne, Seigneur, lui répondit-elle.
Alors Jésus reprit:
---Je ne te condamne pas non plus. Va, mais désormais, ne pèche plus
