Daisy sat in the hard pew next to Ken. He had his arm around her shoulders, and the smell of his aftershave tickled her senses. She had managed to volunteer with the children’s program of her church every Sunday since getting her positive pregnancy test. Today marked the first time she’d sat and listened to a sermon. As the pastor read from the book of John, recounting about Jesus writing in the dirt and the woman actively caught in sin had been dragged in front of him, her mind started spinning.

Why did all of these examples of confronting Jesus with sexual sin have to do with women? She thought of the woman at the well who lived with a man who was not her husband; this woman caught in the act of adultery with a man then dragged through the streets; and then the prostitute who wept at Jesus’s feet, washing his feet with her tears. Why all women and no men?

Where could she find the story of the man who preyed on an innocent woman, told her lies, and seduced her, getting her pregnant then rejecting her and the unborn baby? Where was that story in God’s word?

She closed her eyes and willed herself not to start crying. Jason did not carry all the blame here. She went into everything with both eyes wide open. They didn’t do anything she didn’t want to do.

Perhaps that’s why she felt so guilty. Because she willfully did something she knew opposed her moral standards and her faith. Then, instead of it just staying hidden like some dark secret, soon everyone would know, and her hypocrisy would come fully into the light.

Yet, God already knew, and she’d spent the last several weeks avoiding Him as if she could hide. She hadn’t stopped to pray for the baby, its future, its life. Why? Dare she search her heart and find out the truth?

A tear slipped down her cheek, followed by another and another. Soon, she had to dig through her purse and find the package of tissues. Her fingers trembled as she tried to open the little plastic flap. Finally, she just ripped the whole thing, and it fell open into her lap. She picked up two tissues and pressed them to her eyes. So much for her carefully constructed makeup.

Ken rubbed her back between her shoulder blades. He couldn’t possibly know why she suddenly felt so upset, but he didn’t ask or question, just supported. When she thought she could raise her head without wailing, she slowly looked at the pastor. He talked about Christ’s love and wisdom, how the crowd dispersed without stoning the woman to death because of Christ’s challenge of he who is without sin cast the first stone. Left alone with the woman, He asked her, “Has no one condemned you?”

When she admitted no one had, Christ said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”

“Beloved,” the pastor said, “let’s take a moment and look at that.
