Forgive Thyself – Dr. Jack Hyles

Open your Bibles, please, to the book of John, the eighth chapter.

John chapter 8.

And in your Schofield Reference Bible, page 1125, page 1125, we'll read the first 11 verses of the 8th chapter.

We'll read responsibly.

And this is a familiar story to us.

Let's stand as we read it.

Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives.

And early in the morning he came again into the temple.

And all the people came unto him, and he sat down and taught them.

And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery.

And when they had set her in the midst, they say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery in the very act.

Now Moses in the law commanded us that such should be stoned.

But what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him that they might have to accuse him.

But Jesus stooped down and with his finger wrote on the ground as though he heard them not.

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground, They which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last.

And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? And together on the text verse, She said, No man, Lord.

And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee.

Go, and sin no more.

I

want to talk to you for a few minutes this morning on this idea of thyself.

Forgive thyself.

Now this morning, as always on Lord's Supper Day, we start the sermon off about ten minutes later than usual.

I must ask you, please, to focus your attention this way.
