John 8:7

"If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."

As many of you know, slowly but surely, everyone stepped away... b/c NO one, other than Jesus himself, is sinless. How do you treat people? Are you quick to point out other's faults while you yourself are wallowing in filth? "Good Christians are expected to point out and condemn the sin, to judge the sin and love the sinner." The question is... can this really be done? I pray we all instead are able to follow in Jesus' manner as recorded in John 8:10, 11 where he says,

"Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?

"No one, sir," she said.
"Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."

Notice, while still making it clear that her life of sin was wrong, he didn't stoop down and shame her but instead showed her grace and mercy. How much more of an impact do you think that made than if he would have allowed them all to attack?

May we also be able to follow his example in our daily encounters with others.
