John 8:4 (NLT) “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”
7 They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” 8 Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust. 9 When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. 10 Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” 11 “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”
Jesus is the physical embodiment of grace. According to the law of Moses, Jesus had every right to condemn and stone this woman who was caught in the act of adultery but, He did not. Although she deserved death, Jesus did not condemn her and he allowed her to live.
This is true today. We were once a part of the world and we deserved death. However, because of grace through Jesus Christ, we are not condemned and through Him we are allowed to live.
As ambassadors for the Kingdom of God, our job us to lead the hurting, the confused, and the lost to the embodiment of grace, Who is Jesus Christ.
Praise God for Jesus Christ Who provides life without condemnation!
