John 8:10-11 (NKJV) 10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, \u201cWoman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?\u201d 11 She said, \u201cNo one, Lord.\u201d And Jesus said to her, \u201cNeither do I condemn you; go and sin no more<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, we want to talk to anyone who might be reading this and battling condemnation or confusion.<\/p>\n

Maybe you\u2019re a believer. Maybe you\u2019re not. Or maybe you\u2019re on the fence about everything and just not sure where you stand.<\/p>\n

Jesus came to earth to demonstrate God\u2019s love for humanity. He did this in many ways.<\/p>\n

While He walked among us, He showed us how to love and to forgive in ways that the Jews found unfathomable. They had never seen this kind of mercy and compassion before.<\/p>\n

And we\u2019d like to direct that same love, mercy and compassion toward you today.<\/p>\n

Jesus showed His mercy and compassion to people who had sinned in ways that caused the Jews to want to stone them, literally, to death. It was what they had always done.<\/p>\n

But Jesus intervened on their behalf demonstrated love and forgiveness. And in doing so, He also urged them to \u201csin no more<\/span>\u201d.<\/p>\n

One such encounter is in the verses above. Another can be found in John 4:5-29, where Jesus spoke with a Samaritan woman at a well, and He revealed things about her that only a prophet, or God Himself, could have known.<\/p>\n

And though He revealed her sin, He did not condemn her outright. He allowed the Holy Spirit to work on her as He spoke, giving the woman the opportunity to deal with her sin, one-on-one with God.<\/p>\n

The thief on the cross also demonstrates God\u2019s love and mercy, as Jesus told him, \u201ctoday you will be with Me in Paradise<\/span>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Jesus never condoned their sin, so we should not mistakenly think this.<\/p>\n

But He demonstrated love, mercy and compassion that changed the hearts of the people He encountered.<\/p>\n

And we want you to understand that mercy and compassion today, that you would trust Him with your own situation.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re wrestling with condemnation, guilt, or the feeling that you have no direction and don\u2019t know where to go, go to Jesus. Pour your heart out to Him. He will never reject you.<\/p>\n
