Hello everyone! Thank you for taking the time to read today’s post. I pray this story blesses your heart. Let us begin.
In the Book of John 8:1-10, we see the mercy of God being shown to a woman that was caught in the very act of adultery. The scribes and the Pharisees brought her to Jesus and they asked Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?” (John 8:4-5). Afterwards, Jesus stooped down and began to write in the dirt as if He didn’t hear them. Jesus finally rose up and answered her anxious accusers. He blew them all away when He responded to them saying, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first” (8:7). As Jesus stooped back down to write on the ground, the Pharisees and the scribes felt convicted in their hearts by their own sins so that they walked away from the oldest to the youngest.
It was finally time for the woman to face her sin as she stood before the Master without the accusations of the crowd. I can only imagine how humiliated, embarrassed, and ashamed this woman felt when her accusers surrounded her and wanted to give her the sentence of death by stoning. Just moments ago, she was stuck in a hard place and thought she had come to the end of her life. But now, she heard the words of grace flow from the mouth of the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Jesus asked her this question, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more” (8:10-11).
Glory be to God! Jesus offered her the precious gift of mercy and forgiveness. She received new life and the opportunity to be free from sin and delivered from the spirit of guilt and shame. Her life would never be the same because the tangible love of Christ transformed her heart forever. It is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance (see Romans 2:4). Let us find strength, courage, and peace in knowing that Jesus shed His blood to wash and to cleanse us from all sin no matter how embarrassing or painful our past might have been. Thank You, Lord Jesus! For Your mercy endures forever. Go and sin no more as His story becomes your story. Amen.
