Guilty Accusers and Accused, Righteous Judge, and Advocate

“He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” (John 8:7).

This story is familiar to every Christian. Here is an accused person who is guilty, accusers who are also guilty, a Righteous Judge, and an Advocate who is perfectly holy. The accusers had the desire to stone the woman but had no right. Jesus had the right to accuse her but had no desire to do it. The woman deserved punishment, but she heard the most blissful words: "Neither do I condemn you," and the most important commandment: "Go and sin no more."
