"Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery."\xa0 John 8:3

\n

The woman, cowering down in fear and shame, waiting for a riotous mob to begin throwing stones at her.\xa0 Do you at times feel like the woman - paralyzed by fear and shame, waiting for your personal judgment?\xa0 Are you more like the mob, who regardless of their own sin, were incensed with the need to seek justice against this woman?\xa0 Jesus showed us another way.\xa0 He knelt down next to the woman and wrote in the sand, casting his lot with her, and after He speaks, the crowd drops their stones and leaves.\xa0 This is a picture of the Grace of God, and a model for how we should love others.
