February 2025 podcasts: Grace, Divinity, and Miracles in John 7-9

▶️ 15 The Woman Caught in Adultery (John 7:53-8:11)

Many Bibles omit the account of the woman caught in adultery because of questions about its authenticity. Despite these textual debates, the interesting narrative reveals profound truths about grace, humility and judgment.

▶️ 16 The Light of the World (John 8:12-47)

Jesus came to offer his life to free us from the condemnation that we deserve. Now he add something new: he also came to free us from slavery to sin.

▶️ 17 Before Abraham was, I Am (John 8:48-59)

What does Jesus mean when he says ‘before Abraham was, I am?” Traditionally seen as a declaration of divinity, context suggests Jesus intends to highlight his role as the Messiah.

▶️18 Jesus heals the Man Born Blind (John 9)

In John 9, Jesus heals on the Sabbath again, provoking the Jewish leadership. John highlights a variety of responses to this miracle, contrasting spiritual and physical blindness. The blind man now sees, but more importantly he has faith.
