3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought a woman they had caught in bed with a man who was not her husband. They forced her to stand in front of the people. 4 They said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 The Law of Moses commands us to stone to death any such woman. What do you say we should do?”

6 They were saying this to trick Jesus. They wanted to catch him saying something wrong so that they could have a charge against him. But Jesus stooped down and started writing on the ground with his finger. 7 The Jewish leaders continued to ask him their question. So he stood up and said, “Anyone here who has never sinned should throw the first stone at her.” 8 Then Jesus stooped down again and wrote on the ground.

9 When they heard this, they began to leave one by one. The older men left first, and then the others. Jesus was left alone with the woman standing there in front of him. 10 He looked up again and said to her, “Where did they all go? Did no one judge you guilty?”

11 She answered, “No one, sir.”

Then Jesus said, “I don’t judge you either. You can go now, but don’t sin again.”

John 8:3-11

One thing we need to remember is the fact Jesus hates the sin but He loves the sinner. I'm sure in this woman's heart she thought she was going to die that day. She knew she had sinned and she most likely knew the punishment. But she committed the sin anyway. Wow, how could she do that you might say, well I don't know, why would we? We all sin and fall short of the Glory of God according to Romans 3:23. It's not as important what we have done as it is what we do right now.

Jesus said to the woman "Go and sin no more."

Maybe it's time to ask Jesus to forgive us. Jesus Himself said, " Those without sin cast the first stone."

But if we do fall, and we will from time to time because we are human, ask Jesus for forgiveness and keep trying. 

Never give up!
