Day 14:
When Jesus had raised
Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are
those accusers of yours? Has no one
condemned you?”
She said, “No one
Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
John 8:10-11
We have an accuser and his name is Satan. Our accuser would like nothing better than to defraud the name of
Jesus.
Jesus doesn't accuse us. When the enemy can get us to agree
with him that Jesus condemns us, he is indeed seeking to disprove our Lord and
claim that Jesus is our accuser. Nothing could be further from the
truth.
Jesus defends His daughters and raises them out of the dirt. The context of the verse above was that a woman had been caught in the act of adultery. The "religious people" of that time had drug her out and thrown her in the dirt to stone her to death. Jesus stepped in and saved her.
Jesus stepped in and saved us. Don't let the enemy or "religious people" condemn you. Jesus doesn't. He carried away our shame on the cross. He was beaten so we could be made whole
and healed. He was accused so we could be acquitted.
