"They listened to Him, and then they began going out, conscience-stricken, one by one, from the oldest down to the last one of them, till Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing there before Him in the center of the court. When Jesus raised Himself up, He said to her, Woman, where are your accusers? Has no man condemned you? She answered, No one, Lord! And Jesus said, I do not condemn you either. Go on your way and from now on sin no more." (John 8:9-11)
The accusers' consciences were convicted when put face to face with Jesus. Stones of condemnation dropped when the Man of Grace came on the scene. If we truly are living a life conscious of God's abiding presence, operating in condemnation is no longer possible.
