CASTING STONES
John 8:7-9
So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
Personal challenge
Jesus had such a way of making people look into their own hearts and determine their shortcomings without being in their face about it. He still has that capability, if we let Him live in our hearts. If we do not have this soul searching going on, and are continually casting stones, then we should be asking ourselves if He dwells within us. This is hard. This is painful. But He does ask us to drop the stones and to show love to our neighbor. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
