John

8:7


When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." 

The more technologically advanced we become the more mudslinging occurs especially during elections.  Have you noticed that?  During elections people who are generally of good behavior begin saying the most awful things about each other.  And then when the elections are over life goes on and they are civil again.  Why is it that we reduce ourselves that way?

A long time ago a woman was dragged through the streets because she had committed adultery.  Her accusers stood ready to stone her.  However this verse was said and the accusers let their stones drop and walked away one by one.  Why?  Because they had committed the same sin.  Everyone sins however not all of us are exposed to the public scrutiny that certain political figures and celebrities have.  Being in the limelight has its downfalls.  If your entire past was put on the front page of a newspaper how would you feel?  Are you without sin?  Have you never done anything wrong?  Ponder this!
