John 8:7, 10–11
" When they kept 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.” 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.”
Freedom from Sins
In this powerful passage, we see a woman caught in sin—broken, ashamed, and condemned by others. The crowd was ready to stone her. But Jesus responded with grace and truth:
“Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone.”
One by one, they left. Not because the woman was innocent, but because they realized they were not.
Then Jesus turned to her and asked,
“Has no one condemned you?”
She replied, “No one, sir.”
And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go now and leave your life of sin.”
1. We All Need Forgiveness
The Bible reminds us in Romans 3:23 that “all have sinned.”
No one is righteous on their own. Like that woman, we stand in need of mercy.
2. The ABCs of Freedom from Sin
A – Acknowledge your sin
Humbly confess before God.
1 John 1:9 promises that when we confess, He forgives and cleanses us.
B – Believe in Jesus
Only Jesus has the power to forgive and transform.
Believe that His grace is enough—and choose to turn away from sin.
C – Claim it by faith
Walk in righteousness daily.
Put on holiness, purity, and humility, trusting God to help you live a new life.
3. God Fully Forgives
In Isaiah 43:25, God says,
“I… blot out your transgressions… and remember your sins no more.”
When God forgives, He does not hold your past against you.
4. No More Condemnation
Like the woman, we receive not just forgiveness—but freedom.
Romans 8:1 declares:
“There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”

Jesus does not excuse sin—but He offers freedom from it.
His message is both grace and transformation:
“Neither do I condemn you… Go and sin no more.”
Let us come to Him honestly, believe in Him fully, and walk in the new life He gives.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for Your mercy and forgiveness. Cleanse us from all sin and help us live a new life in You. Thank You for the freedom we have in Jesus. Amen.

John 6:35
“Then Jesus declared, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.’”
“JESUS: THE BREAD OF LIFE & THE LIVING WATER”
In a world full of temporary satisfaction, people are constantly searching for something to fill the emptiness in their hearts. Many try material things, achievements, or relationships—but still feel hungry and thirsty inside.
Jesus speaks directly to this need in John 6:35, declaring Himself as the only true source of lasting satisfaction: the Bread of Life and the Living Water.
JESUS IS THE BREAD OF LIFE
• The bread Jesus speaks of is not physical, but spiritual nourishment.
• This bread represents spiritual renewal and salvation, made possible through His sacrifice.
Matthew 4:4 — “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
Without Jesus, the soul remains empty.
With Jesus, our deepest hunger is satisfied.
Jesus is the source of eternal life
• Life is found only through belief in Jesus Christ:
o John 14:6 – Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life
o John 3:36 – Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life
o Acts 4:12 – Salvation is found in no one else
• Jesus is not just a way—He is the ONLY way.
Faith in Him brings eternal life
Outside of Him, there is no salvation
JESUS SATISFIES SPIRITUAL HUNGER AND THIRST
• Jesus combines two powerful images:
o Hunger (Bread) – our need for truth and life
o Thirst (Water) – our longing for fulfillment and peace
John 4:13-14 — Whoever drinks the water Jesus gives will never thirst again.
The world offers temporary satisfaction
Jesus offers eternal fulfillment
FAITH IN CHRIST BRINGS ABUNDANT LIFE
• John 3:16 — Whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life
When we believe in Jesus:
• We receive spiritual bread that never spoils
• We experience an abundant life that never ends
His life in us removes emptiness
Its presence gives lasting joy and peace
JESUS MAKES SALVATION SIMPLE AND AVAILABLE
• Jesus clearly declares Himself:
o The Bread of Life
o The Living Water
o The Way to God
He does not complicate salvation—He makes it:
• Plain
• Simple
• Available to all
He is the source of forgiveness
He opens the path to repentance and a relationship with God
WITHOUT JESUS, THERE IS NO HOPE
• Without Him:
o No spiritual life
o No eternal future
o No true satisfaction
Only Jesus fills the emptiness of the soul
Only Jesus gives hope that lasts forever
We all hunger. We all thirst. But only Jesus can truly satisfy.
Come to Him today.
Believe in Him today.
Receive life from Him today.
Indeed, we need Jesus.
In Him, we will never go hungry and never be thirsty.
In Him, we have eternal life!
Amen.
