Morning Prayer
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Inspiration
This woman taken in the act of adultery was guilty, but they did not bring the man involved in the adultery to be stoned. And all those gathered around were sinners themselves. Jesus had mercy on her, but he told her in verse 11, "Go and sin no more. "
Prayer
O Lord, when we think of our own failings, of how much we ourselves have sinned, how can we think ourselves better than others? how can we look down on them when we are as guilty as they? We all need your forgiveness. We all need your grace. Teach us to love others, and help us to turn from sin more and more day by day. Amen.
