Hath no man condemned thee.

"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 KJV)? The Pharisees brought Jesus Christ a woman that had been caught in the act of adultery. The Pharisees were trying to test Jesus to find wrong in Him and to see what His sentence for the woman would be. However, it all turned upside down for the Pharisees and those who were in the temple court watching. This woman was finally caught in the act of her sin. She was taken to the temple court where many people gathered and socialized. It is possible that the closer the Pharisees brought her to the temple court the louder the people were. This got the people's attention as they called her adulterer, sinner, wicked woman, and some possibly saying to stone her. This lady's life was about to come to an end because of her sin. She had no say in this whatsoever. She was guilty. At this point, she was regretting doing what she had done, and soon her life would be over. I believe we can all relate to what she was going through. She stood in the center of the temple court lifeless. Just as Jesus Christ is always and will always be there for everyone of us, He made it clear that all are guilty of sin without Him. Jesus showed her God's grace and mercy upon the sinner, and He gave us all a look into His finished work at the Cross. There is freedom in Christ Jesus and the Cross. God bless you. Amen
