1. If you were the woman, how would you feel as you left Jesus' presence?
I would have left His presence with a desire to live for Him, since He saved me from not only that situation but for eternity.
2. How do you usually respond when you fail?
Usually I try to make it right as soon as possible, however, there are times when I try to justify it, which causes me more misery than if I would have simply confessed and moved on.
3. What can we learn from this passage about Jesus' attitude toward us, even when we feel awful about ourselves?
Jesus' desire is for us to receive His forgiveness and live for Him. He is quick to forgive and ready at a moment's notice to restore our relationship with Him. He does not hold our sin over our heads as a means to keep us enslaved, rather, He never brings it up again so we can truly live free for Him.
4. What does this account teach us about forgiving and accepting others?
That we should be quick to forgive, not holding another's sin over their heads, and encourage others to live for Christ because of the freedom He provides.
Applying this Passage in Your Life
1. What are some evidences in the life of a person (or you specifically) who has truly accepted forgiveness for a wrongdoing?
They do not wallow in self-pity or in their guilt. They do not make excuses as to why they cannot serve God. They are more willing to extend forgiveness to others because they have experienced forgiveness themselves.
2. What are some practical ways you can display forgiveness to someone who has wronged you?
You can tell them you forgive them and then don't bring up the sin again. You can find ways to encourage them on a regular basis, and you could do something nice for them, for no other reason than to express love.
