No Condemnation


We experience around us that many people falsly accuse or condemn others for the wrong doings or sins. Many of us are happy to see the log in the eye of the Other but ingnore the same in our own very eyes. How easy it is to point fingers at someone who has wronged giving no chance for that person to change or convert. 
Jesus was a real Human person and understood the human nature very well. As a compassionate leader he did not pronounce any condemnation against the sinner. The woman caught be adulterous and brought to Jesus was itself a vey shameful and sad for the woman. She had no support from any one. They were all ready to condemn her to death. But why did they forget the men who too were at fault. The adulterous act was committed by both. Then why was the man not brought to condemnation.  In our world today, it seems only the strong, the powerful, and the wise lord over nature. Do we blame others and excuse ourselves? So here Jesus gives us the example. He who is blameless can blame others.  But is there any among us who is blameless? Would we not rather pray for one another and help one another in our not-so-easy journey to God's kingdom
