Passage Context

5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7So 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.
8And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

Devotional Reflection

Shame

It is easy for us to identify the sins of others, but God wants us to be reminded that it is equally important for us to take an honest inventory of our own faithfulness. Before evaluating anyone else, we should deal with our own sins.

Prayer

Father God, please forgive me for my mistakes. Father, especially forgive me for having a spirit that is critical and judgmental. Please save me from these hurtful and bad habits, forgive me for my sins, and make me faithful. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
