Then neither do I condemn you, Jesus declared. Go now and leave your life of sin.

Go now and leave your life of sin.
What a powerful statement given by Christ. Has anyone of us in our lives been ever so forgiving? We have all been wrong in our numerous, countless, various doings that we may not have even noticed when we were sinning. We can never been sinless. Sitting next to Ghandi, Hitler, or any other religious human figures in history, we are all the same. I noticed that these famous figures were once human beings before, i.e. ordinary people who were once ignorant of their own sinful behaviour and then once they acquired their knowledge, they changed, some to the worse, some to the better.
BUT whoever they were before and have become, they will never be without sin, never be the first to throw a stone at her, the poor lady who is as sinful as the rest of us. The only difference is the poor lady may have forgiven them for she would have thought she deserved all these punishments and have sought help from Christ for forgiveness and salvation.
Ask yourself, if you were Christ, whom would you forgive? One who knows her sin and repents or those who still think the prostitute should be stoned to death! Just think. Christ has given a prostitute His forgiveness, who else would he give forgiveness to?
Never judge, always forgive, always give thanks, always hope, always love and follow Him. This is the Good News: we ACTUALLY always have one more chance than we deserve, from Christ.
May Jesus Christ words bring the Holy Spirit into your hearts and let them work wonders in you.
