Poem
Present at Jerusalem’s Temple People came to hear the wise Teacher Scribes and Pharisees soon sought him To test this so-called Preacher. A woman was brought before him, Adultery was her offense, A sin, so enormous that She seemed to have no defence. So, standing her in their midst All ears were eager to hear: What would Jesus say, Would he make his position clear? Well, such sort of women were stoned According Moses’ Law, So, would he agree to this And carry on as centuries before? He sensed their wicked hearts Knowing their motives were cruel He would never ever follow Such a cold and callous rule. So, bending down be began Writing with his finger in the sand Seemingly oblivious to Their rigid, unbending demand. Still, they persisted questioning Seeking to accuse the Lord, So, straightening up he said (With many an authoritative word) ‘Let the one who is sinless Be the first to cast a stone.’ And, boldly bending down Amidst a muted tone He resumed his writing In the dusty, baked ground. Well, it wasn’t very long that No faultfinder was to be found As all, one by one Left just Jesus and the woman there; No one could accuse, Not one would ever dare! Straightening up, the Lord Asked the woman: ‘Where are they? Did no one condemn you By the things they did say?’ ‘No one, sir. ’ was her reply, (Great relief must have touched her heart's core) ‘Neither do I condemn you. Go your way, practice sin no more.’ Although all this happened Many, many years ago We can learn from this true life lesson Of how no one no stone did throw. We all make many mistakes Not one soul is sinless indeed; Just remember that Jesus For ALL of us he did bleed.
