CONVICTED BY THEIR CONSCIENCE

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

Have we become a society that no longer has a moral compass, a godly conscience, to guide us? Worse yet, have those of us who proclaim to be followers of Christ lost so much of our understanding of who He is, and what He has taught us, that we are no different than the world around us? God created us to know the difference between right and wrong. He created us with the ability to seek the truth and run from a lie. As true followers of Christ we can learn even more about how to be beacons of light of His truth and shine it into the world. It is time for us to drop our stones and to walk away from those who are perpetrating lies and conspiracies for their own good. It is time for us to be convicted by our conscience and to do the right and godly things, Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy!
