006: JOHN 8

John 8 — The Light That Cannot Be Stoned

“Neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

🪔 What Is John 8?

John 8 is a scroll of liberation from shame. It opens with one of the most iconic encounters in the New Testament —
a woman caught in adultery, dragged into public judgment. The crowd waits, stones in hand, demanding death.
But Jesus writes in the dust. He bends before He speaks. He disarms not with force, but with the mirror of conscience:
“Let the one without sin cast the first stone.” None do.
Then, He lifts her. He frees her.
The second part of the chapter shifts — Jesus declares Himself the *Light of the World*, confronting religious darkness with radiant truth.

• Symbol Element 1: Dust — where judgment meets grace
• Symbol Element 2: Light — eternal presence, truth unshadowed
• Visual Cue: A woman rising slowly, light falling upon her face as the stones hit the ground

✍️ How to Create or Use It

• Materials: Stones, sand, a bowl of water, a candle

1. Light the candle and place the bowl of water in front of you. Hold a stone in each hand.
2. Read John 8:1–12 aloud. Pause when you hear: “Let any one of you who is without sin…”
3. Drop the stones into the water. Whisper: “Neither do I condemn you.” Let silence wash over you. Then rise.
