It is easy for us to see and point out others sins. We as a group of Christians will talk about one caught up in a sin that seems huge to them, drinking too much, murder, sexual sins.But the truth is even the smallest of sins is still a sin that will separate us from God. Jesus came to earth to save us from all sins, small ones and big ones. He did not come to condemn us. We need to look at our own lives before we start throwing stones at others!!!
1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 He awoke early in the morning to return to the temple. When He arrived, the people surrounded Him, so He sat down and began to teach them.
3 While He was teaching, the scribes and Pharisees brought in a woman who was caught in the act of adultery; and they stood her before Jesus.
Pharisees: 4 Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
5 Moses says in the law that we are to kill such women by stoning. What do You say about it?
6 This was all set up as a test for Jesus; His answers would give them grounds to accuse Him of crimes against Moses’ law. Jesus bent over and wrote something in the dirt with His finger.
7 They persisted in badgering Jesus, so He stood up straight.
Jesus: Let the first stone be thrown by the one among you who has not sinned.
8 Once again Jesus bent down to the ground and resumed writing with His finger. 9 The Pharisees who heard Him stood still for a few moments and then began to leave slowly, one by one, beginning with the older men. Eventually only Jesus and the woman remained,
10 and Jesus looked up.
Jesus: Dear woman, where is everyone? Are we alone? Did no one step forward to condemn you?
Woman Caught in Adultery: 11 Lord, no one has condemned me.
Jesus: Well, I do not condemn you either; all I ask is that you go and from now on avoid the sins that plague you.
