John 8:1-11

We are quick to judge others for their sins but quick to forget our own. God sees our heart and only wants us to recognize and ask forgiveness for our sins and and in doing so to have mercy and forgiveness for the sins of others. We are all sinners and all fall short of the glory of God. He is all loving, all merciful and full of compassion for His creation (who loved you enough to send His Son to die for your sins)...we should be the same! Our actions should be based on the question of what would Jesus do?

Because the Feast of Tabernacles had concluded the day before, many visitors were still in Jerusalem. Attracted by the appearance of a noted rabbi, a crowd rapidly gathered. Abruptly bringing the adulterous woman into the midst of the proceedings was a rude disruption. The Pharisees were bent on confounding Jesus. 

Sin no more implies that Jesus forgave her. He did not condemn her, but neither did He condone her sin.

John 8:1-11

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.² Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. ³ Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, ⁴ they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. ⁵ Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?” ⁶ This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. 

⁷ So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” ⁸ And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. ⁹ Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. ¹⁰ When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her,  “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” 

¹¹ She said, “No one, Lord.” 

And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
