No More?

Remember when the scribes and pharisees brought the adulteress before Jesus? Remember the whole, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone?" Now do you remember what Jesus said to the woman? He said, "Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more." You know, I'd bet everything I have that woman sinned again. And you know what else? Jesus was right there to say again, "Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more."
How many times have we heard those words? It seems like every day I'm hauled before Him, entirely and undeniably guilty, caught in the very act; yet every time He's there saying, "Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more." Knowing the whole time that I'm going to sin again before you know it. How lovingly merciful is that?!
