Let’s imagine Jesus in the midst of one of our angry crowds seeking justice. This snippet of Scripture, spoken to a different group seeking different justice, might dissolve the tension.
John 8:7b (MEV)
Let him who is without sin among you
be the first to throw a stone.
Before we self-righteously condemn others, we should look at ourselves with the eyes of Christ. Are we good enough to cast the first stone? Not likely.
Jesus was without sin, and he chose a path of redemption, not destruction. We should do likewise.
