Just Us (Justice)

In John 8:1-11, Jesus literally acts out the role of an intercessor when he confronts the scribes and the Pharisees and delivers the woman alleged to have been caught in an act of adultery from stoning.  Jesus appeals to the conscience of those present to cease from their accusations and leave the life of the woman in tact.  When Jesus completes his assignment as an intercessor, an attorney, and a leader among the masses, the scripture provides that only the woman and Jesus were left standing alone.  Justice will prevail when there is sucessful intercession.
