I would never presume to be one who walks closer to the Lord than anyone since only the Lord can read the hearts of men. That being said, allow me to give my insight upon the lesson of the woman caught in adultery.
To begin with, you will notice that the religious leaders only brought the woman, not the man who was caught committing adultery with her. They did this in an attempt to trap him into either condemning the woman so they could harm his reputation with the people who followed Him, or into violating the Law that said she should be stoned to death.
To their chagrin, He left the decision up to those who were without sin, and since we all sin and fall short of the glory of God their were none left to accuse her of sin.
Jesus then forgave her, even though He was justifiably the only one who was without sin. By telling her to go and sin no more, He was not under some illusion that she would never sin again, but now she knew she had a friend in Jesus who would forgive her if she asked. Imagine if you could hire a lawyer who never lost a case, even when the accused was guilty beyond doubt? This woman was in the presence of such a lawyer. Even the most powerful religious leaders could not match His wisdom. The woman felt justified herself. "Just as if" she had not sinned. We learn from this lesson that even though we sin, we know that Christ will stand in the breach for us against our accusers.
The biggest accuser, is Satan who is continually accusing us before God that we are sinners. However, we have Jesus sitting at the right hand of God taking up our defense by reminding the Father that He paid for our sins upon the cross so that we are now justified, by the Blood the perfect Lamb shed for us from the beginning of time.
Like the woman, we just need to have faith that He will do that which He promised. In normal circumstances, she would obviously be worried about being stoned for her sin, regardless whether the man was allowed to slip away or not. The difference for her today was the presence of a man named Jesus. A man who was able to show her and the religious leaders that she was not the only sinner who deserved punishment.
We do not hear from this woman again, those who claim she is Mary Magdaline are wrong and, so we really do not know if she continued as one of the many women who followed Him through out His ministry. However it is my guess that she was, and if so then she would be learning a lot more about forgiveness before Christ went to the cross.
I hope this helps somewhat. God bless you my brother, and have a good year.
Thank you so much for your reply and may the Lord bless you and yours in this new year.
