No Condemnation

This chapter is one of the thrills of the Bible because it opens up with no condemnation, and in the middle of the chapter no frustration, and at the end of it, no separation. The word condemnation is a sobering word. A judicial condemnation. Jesus came into the world to identify with His people in order to take the condemnation which was condemning them. When Jesus was obedient to the death of the cross He took away that which was condemning me so that I could find eternal life in Him.
