When 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? (John 8:10).

A group of religious men had brought a woman to Jesus who had been taken in adultery. Their goal was to condemn her and to openly shame her, but my friend, often the greatest accusers are the biggest sinners. The only one standing in that group without sin was Jesus. Jesus had told those men, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her” (v7). Rightfully, according to the Mosaic law, the woman caught in the act of adultery was to be stoned. But as Jesus stooped down and began to write their sins in the dirt, their eyes were open to their own failures. Then her accusers begin to leave, and there was none to condemn her, and Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more” (v.11). My friend, Jesus is not looking to condemn us; He seeks to forgive us of our sin. I want to remind us this morning that Jesus died for our sin, and He desires to forgive us. “Jesus is quick to forgive, but we are also accountable to stop sinning.” Father, I want to thank you for the forgiveness of sin this morning, and we want to thank you for The Spirit of God that leads us away from sin. I pray this morning that we would seek your forgiveness and then “go and sin no more.” Be Blessed in Jesus’ Name!
