“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 KJV
When Jesus stood up again, there was no one there except the woman. So Jesus asked her, “Where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She answered, “No one Lord!” And Jesus said to her, “Neither am I condemning you - go and sin no more - never again believe a lie about yourself!” Sin is that which is without form, or distorted, believing a lie about yourself. Let’s believe that sin will not conquer us, for God already has! We are not governed by law but governed by the reign of the grace of God. Grace has revealed our freedom from sin because Jesus took all humanity’s sin and nailed it to the Cross, past, present and future. Thankfully the woman here did not respond with, “depart from me for I am sinful!” Sin-consciousness is what empowers religion, but grace gave freedom. Grace and truth come only from Jesus! Hallelujah!
