John 8:3-11
3The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.5In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now, what do you say?" 6They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If anyone of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." 8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
11"No one, sir," she said.
"Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."

This is my first entry for joining Spiritual Sunday try the blog it is worth reading. Few weeks ago there are so many questions in my head that trying to find answer, lot of things trying to occupy my brain that makes my life miserable, then all of a sudden in a very mysterious way God gave me the answer by stumbled upon on spiritual Sunday blog. And this is my first post, I know I am not God and it's hard to be like him because we have a loving and forgiving God, but reading between the lines of this verses I've realized that this is one of the reasons why God gave us his only begotten son and be one of us. To realize that we have the ability to be like him, remember we are made thru HIS image and likeness so we also have the ability to forgive those who have done wrong to us after all who are we to judge.
