And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
Jesus didn't respond to them, but rather began writing on the ground, then he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 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.
How beautiful is that! Notice, Jesus didn't even judge or condemn her......
The word tells us in John 8:15 "You judge after the flesh; I judge no man"......We have absolutely NO right to judge anyone.
We sometimes become self righteous within ourselves and judge people by the life style they choose to live, the clothes they wear, the music they listen too, the social events they attend, etc..........
I believe that Jesus set a perfect example for us in this story. If he didn't judge or condemn her, then we should not judge anyone either...
Let us therefore walk in love one with another...
