Part Five: Victory

“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?

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”
John 8:10-11

Alone with Jesus.
There’s no better place to be.

The Pharisee’s brought this adulterous woman to Jesus for Him to condemn her with the law.

But Jesus was only packin’ compassion.

Here’s a tip: If you want to really nail someone for their crimes, sins, and evil deeds…DON’T BRING THEM TO JESUS!

Bring them to other people for judgment, insults, and condemnation.

“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
John 3:17

Jesus looks up after he pops the Pharisee’s balloons…and only the woman is left. He tells her that He doesn’t condemn her…and then He tells her to go (mercy) and sin no more (correction).

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1)

I don’t know if she changed her ways, but I sure hope she did.
And if we’ve received His grace and mercy then we should change our ways also.

It’s a good day to walk in the victory of Jesus Christ, and a great day to go and sin no more.

Have a great weekend, friends!
