“Neither Do I Condemn You”
Meeting Jesus results in both the woman and her accusers knowing their sins.
The difference is in their responses to that awareness.
The woman’s accusers walk away from Jesus. Was it because they were ashamed, or because they did not accomplish their plan “to test Jesus”?
The woman stays. She probably could have walked away once her accusers have left. But she remains. She then hears Jesus’ words of forgiveness.
What do I do when I become aware of my sins?
