Who condemns you

Jesus stood up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" John 8:10
This story is where a woman caught in adultery was brought to Jesus for judgement. Jesus says, he who has not sinned should cast the first stone. All of those who condemned this woman leaves one at a time. Notice, Jesus does not condemn or judge her.

Judgement, condemnation comes from the ego. It comes from the self and or it comes from others. We feel better about ourselves when we judge others. However we are commanded by Christ, not to judge.

Christ and God, do not judge us, they forgive us and remove all guilt and shame. We are free to live, a life free of shame and guilt and to offer that same freedom and redemption to others in Christ's name. Judge not or you will be judged. Only we can bring judgement. On ourselves or others.

Let yourself free from the past, and let others go free to. When you forgive others, you are the one set free!
