"Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
John 8:1-11
When the Scribes and the Pharisees dragged a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery, before Jesus he challenged them, " Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." Imagine the look of resentment, disappointment and shame on the faces of the men gathered around the woman as they slowly dropped the handful of stones they had collected in just the right size and shape to throw at the woman to inflict the most pain and eventually kill her. In confronting the self-righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees Jesus is exposing the lack of compassion and forgiveness when we get fixated on the letter of the law rather than the spirit of the law as God intended. He is also challenging us to resist the temptation to judge and condemn others if we are not free of sin ourselves. God gave us the law. But God also gave us a brain and a heart to use when we choose to judge others. He wants us to have the same wisdom and compassion he had for the woman caught in adultery.
Let us continue to pray for each other. May the Good Lord bless you and keep you close to Himself.
Your servant in Christ,
Fr. Mick Greer
