*TOPIC: NEITHER DO I CONDEMNED YOU.* *Scripture Reading:* John 8:10-11 *"Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” She answered, “No one, Lord!” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either. Go. From now on sin no more.”]"*(AMP). She took some courage to look around. Her accusers were gone. She looked back at Jesus. He was standing, looking at her. She dropped her eyes again. At this point, her heart (brokenness) matters to Him. And Jesus said to her: *“Woman,” he said, “where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go and from now on sin no more.”* Forget for the moment the self-righteousness of the accusers and the apparent injustice of the adulterous man’s absence. Did you really hear what Jesus said? This woman’s guilt was real. She committed the crime of adultery. God, through Moses, commanded her death. *"If a man is found lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman and the woman. So you shall purge the evil from Israel"* (Deuteronomy 22:22). BUT WHERE IS THE MAN? But God the Son simply said, “Neither do I condemned you.” Now, if God violates his own commandment and lets the guilty go unpunished then God is unjust. So how could he possibly say that to her? Here’s where the news gets really good. God fully intended for this sin of adultery to be punished to the full extent of His law. But she would not bear her punishment. She would go free. The man JESUS would be punished in her place. *"But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all”* (Isaiah 53:5-6). Dear beloved, Jesus speaks these stunning words to you: “Neither do I condemn you.” Why? Because he has been condemned in your place. *ALL your guilt has been removed. No stone of God’s righteous wrath will crush you because Jesus was crushed for your iniquities! Go and sin no more.* Hallelujah! Good morning and do have a great day, peace. *Prayer points:* Thank you Jesus for the price you paid for me and your saving Grace over me. Amen! T.S. AFOLAYAN
