Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?"
Her answer: "No man, LORD."
Her answer was not so much a declaratory statement as is was an interrogatory statement. She knew she was guilty and deserved what the law had demanded as punishment for her crime. But, what she was actually saying was, "No man is left to condemn me, but You are the Lord God Almighty...Are YOU going to stone me?"
"Neither do I condemn thee. Go and sin no more."
What a wonderful revelation of the love and mercy of Jesus. He is not trying to see how many of us He can keep out of heaven, He's trying to see how many of us He can get IN there.
Praise to our "wonderful, merciful Savior, precious Redeemer and Friend; Who would have thought that a Lamb could rescue the souls of men?"
Praise to Him indeed!
