John 8

 3And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

4They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

 5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

 6This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground (dust or earth), as though he heard them not.

Jesus came to earth as a man to die for our sins

 7So 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.

He lifted himself up to die for our sins

 8And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground (dust or earth).

Jesus rewrote the rules of Moses since we are not able to keep them and instead wrote in the rules of grace through faith

9And 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.

10When 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?

“When Jesus had lifted up himself” – he saw none but the woman, or the elect.  The others in their fury to condemn the woman dropped their stones, but still walked away with their own sins,

 11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

…while the adulteress is made “white” because she has no choice because of her depraved and weakened condition to accept His grace.  The words to “sin no more” are not a rebuke, but rather speaking into being prophetically that God’s elect, this woman will be made white and “sin no more.”

 12Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
