Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 8:3

"And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst," — John 8:3 (ASV)

But that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

What a very blessed way of looking at evil—as an opportunity for God to manifest the power of his works of grace by getting rid of it! I wish that everyone here would look upon the evil within his own heart in this very hopeful light, and say, "There is something in me for God to conquer. There is some spiritual disease in me for the great Physician to heal. There is space in my poor soul for the Lord himself to work some miracle of mercy."
