Again and Again

"And Jesus said to her (the woman caught in adultery), "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."" -- John 8:11

As I read the account of the adulterous woman this afternoon, I wondered if this was the only time that this woman found herself in need of forgiveness from Jesus. Did she really "go and sin more"? I don't know if she did or not. I'm just guessing based on my own experience. I find myself having to constantly run to my Lord to wash my guilt of sin.

I realized anew today that the One who calls men to forgive 7 x 70 forgives men as well. Again and again and again. And again and again I pick myself back up and keep going.

"Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."

Lord, Your mercy is great.
