469 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ
*Casted Stones*
"Let he who is with out sin cast the first stone." John 8:7

Why do we point out the flaws of our fellow brothers and sisters but pretend we ourselves are sinless?
Jesus gave the perfect example of his grace when the gospel of John shared about this very topic.
The story is about a woman who commited adultery.  Jesus was teaching a group of people in the temple when all of a sudden the scribes and Pharisees brought in a woman. They said to Jesus in front of everyone, "This woman here has committed adultery." Jesus felt for the woman as they were judging the woman in front of all to see. They said, "shall we stone her? That's what Moses said to do." Jesus wrote in the dirt and tried to ignore the men but then stood up and said this. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." John 8:7.
When no one cast a stone Jesus told the woman you are forgiven go and sin no more.
The Challenge:
The next time you feel like casting a stone upon a sinner think about what Jesus would say! Jesus says we can only cast a stone if and only if we are sinless ourselves. This gives you the Lords answer. Since we are all sinners we shall cast no stones!
