"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." (Luke 23:34)

Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd. 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, “Let any one of you who is without sin 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.” (John 8:1-11)

1. What are some lines from movies that you remember? What’s something that a friend or family member said that stuck with you? 

2. Share a time when you’ve been lost. 

3. How do you tend to picture God? (angry, disappointed, loving, caring) Why do you see God that way?

4. Read John 8:1-11. What stands out for you in this story? What does this story reveal about what God is like?

5. Read Luke 23:34. Considering the pain and injustice he was experiencing, what strikes you about Jesus’ words? Who is Jesus praying for at this moment? What does that reveal about his heart? 

Take time this week to reflect on Jesus’ words of forgiveness and what that reveals about what God is like.
