John 8:2-11 – Jesus and Police Procedure
You know how frustrating it is when a criminal gets off free because the cops did not proceed “legally” and the judge releases the criminal on a technicality? You think, “But he did the crime, even if the search was without a warrant, he is still guilty.” I know exactly how you feel. It’s just wrong. And yet…isn’t that exactly what happened between the woman caught in adultery by the scribes and Pharisees? The accusers – the “cops” – did not follow the law. If they had, they would have brought forth the woman and the man. What’s the point? Regardless of whether someone breaks God’s laws or man’s laws, those who are trying to uphold the law – Christians or police officers – are equally responsible for upholding the law when accusing the lawbreaker of breaking the law. If we don’t proceed correctly, we are just another criminal accusing another criminal.
