“At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” “No one sir,” she said. “Neither do I condemn you.” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” (John 8:9-11)
How many times have we done something wrong that deserved punishment? How many times have we done something wrong before our God? Think about that for a few minutes… Take a few minutes to consider what the wedge that is keeping you apart from God; not having that close personal relationship. What is it?
Pride? Idolatry? Anger? Lust?
Now, think about this…
Jesus comes before you and is standing with you all alone. Nobody else is around. Just you and him standing in front of each other. Then he asks:
“Has no one condemed you?”
“Neither do I condem you.”
“Go now and leave your life of sin.”
The creator of the universe, the King of Kings, the Messiah, and our Lord comes before you and says “neither do I condem you.”
Lord, thank you for the amazing grace and forgiveness you have extended to me. Open my heart. Fill my life.
“And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy And walk humbly with you God.” (Micah 6:8)
