towards Jesus. They are also furious and outrage at what the woman was doing,

Reflective Questions:
1. See forgiveness...it is horribly embarrassing!
2. Humbled, loved...a relief. A desire to readily forgive in the same way.
Responsive Questions
1. Embarrassed, humiliated...mad that the guy involved wasn't being exposed this way as well.
2. At first they were excited at getting the "perfect" opportunity to trap Jesus in a sticky situation. But once He put things into perspective ("Let him that is without sin cast the first stone"), they were obviously embarrassed and sheepish and wanted to get away, which they did!
3. Perhaps smirked as they skulked away. (Taylor Huff...isn't "skulked" a great word?!)
4. Ugghhh...that is not fun. But sometimes is depends on the spirit of the one bringing it to my attention. If they are mean and overly critical about it, it hurts worse than if they are truly concerned for my spiritual growth and character development.

Reflective Questions
1. Which is harder for you: to forgive or to seek forgiveness? Why?
For me, it is harder to seek forgiveness. In seeking forgiveness I have to humble myself, admit that I was wrong, and deal with the consequences of that wrong choice. None of those are enjoyable to endure, yet they are exactly what I need to do if I am honestly seeking forgiveness.
2. Think of a time when you hurt someone and that person was willing to forgive you. How did it feel to be forgiven?
Relief, thankfulness, embarrassment, and indebted are some of the feelings I have had when experiencing forgiveness.

1. Unlock some of the emotional background of this encounter. How do you think the woman feels when she is publicly accused?
I think she went from surprise, to anger, to embarrassment, to fear.
2. What emotions grip the woman's accusers?
I believe self-righteousness, pride, and contempt for Jesus is what consumed these men. They were more concerned about trying to trip up Jesus (v. 6) than they were about dealing with this woman’s sin.
3. What would you have done if you had been part of the crowd that looked on?
I probably would have been a “gawker,” similar to the people who look back at an accident or stand around and watch some trouble that has caused a scene. I also would have been relieved that I wasn’t involved.
4. How do you feel when someone exposes a sin or failure in your life?
I feel embarrassed and get that awful feeling in the pit of my stomach, but only for a short time. I truly have a desire to live for Christ, so my feelings quickly change to thankfulness for the person who had enough courage to point out the sin so that my relationship with Christ might be unhindered.
-To seek forgiveness;It's embarrassing to know you've done wrong.
-Relieving;I knew that that person wasn't mad at me anymore, and it wasn't weighing me down.

Answer to 2.
At first they wanted to stone her for her immorality, but then Jesus told the crowd that whoever that was without sin should cast a stone first, and they all were convicted and went away.

I probably would have just listen to Jesus conversation with some people in the crowd.
