Jesus often found himself clashing with the religious leaders of his day. They were often so committed to the law, and were so legalistic, that they would forget the heart behind God’s instruction as a whole. There is a woman caught in the act of adultery and brought before Jesus. She had broken the law and deserved to be stoned to death. Rather than condemn and allow her to be killed, Jesus offers her Grace through a relationship rather that penalty through religion.
