~~Let Him Without Sin Cast The First Stone~~ Back in the days when Jesus was said to have walked There are lessons in life about which are still now talked In kings it says “If they sin against thee (for there is none that sinneth not)” It may help us to recall these words that we may have forgot. In Psalms it points out that in sin our mother did conceive us The genes and traits of mothers really do never leave us. In Romans it points that the wages of sin is death and strife But the gift through Christ and forgiveness is the gift of eternal life. But John is the one to bring to mind I think When the scribes and Pharisees set out to cause a stink. An adulteress female they bought to the Christ in the morn Caught in the act of adultery, they had all sworn. To trick Christ by his answer but he was too clever: (Not the man they did not take it seems men are to blame never) He wrote in the soil then turned to them and said "He that is without sin let him cast the first stone at her (to render her dead)." None of the accusers could their conscience find clear They left the woman with Jesus and this is what she did hear "Where are your accusers now is there none to condemn you?" He knew he had pricked their conscience-and his words were true. “No lord they have gone even though they did call me a whore” “Then I do not condemn thee, go forth and sin no more.” We all suffer the sin of imperfection, of that there is no doubt But it is up to each of us to ask for forgiveness, not for others to flout. But as it says in Mathew let us not judge lest we be judged We may not be as perfect as we let on, our own image smudged. We all fall short of perfection in this human life Let’s look to the rafter in our own eye and try not to cause strife. A lot of poetic license is used here but the essence is here and the scriptures used are: Kings 8:46 Psalms 51:5 Romans 6:23 John 8:3 Math 7
