Notes I Throw the First Stone at MyselfI can easily become the mouthpiece of the accuser when I examine myself. I find myself guilty and accept condemnation without question.
I read about Jesus handling the adulterous woman before her accusers. The Holy God standing before her levels the field to dust as he reminds the self-righteous audience that all have sinned. He offers them the opportunity to judge, but only if they are willing to be judged like-wise. The oldest, presumably the most experienced with their own sinfulness, walk away from judgement first. The rest follow.
This adulterous woman is left alone before the only man who never sinned who has every right to judge and condemn, but instead he talks with her, even asks her a question.
“Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
“No one”, she answers
“Neither do I condemn you, now go and sin no more”.
Now go and live the free and un-condemned life, saturated with God’s love.
Just as Jesus learned everything from his Father, so he learned this, not to condemn me. Now Matthew, go and live the free and un-judged life. Your Father already approves of you.
