Playing Judge

A woman caught in the act of adultery was brought before Jesus. It's rather surprising that her male partner was not arraigned. The mobs intention was to stone her to death once Jesus passed his judgement.

His response took all by surprise. ...he who is without sin should throw the first stone.
Don't join in the error of casting stones, don't play judge. Jesus standpoint is for the sinner to be restored.

On the social media, it's common to find juries and judges, dishing out judgement as they seem fit. Before you play the judge you owe it to both parties to hear their cases. When in doubt, a juror asks for evidences that supports the claims.

No guilty party will miss the judgement of God. With man's Justice, a guilty person can be pronounced innocent. But never with God, there's nothing hidden before him. Perhaps that's why he cautioned us in playing judge.

Jesus is the truth, if you chose to be identified with him better walk upright. Do not hide under his cover and lead a double life. Your secret sins will soon be exposed, enough of hiding behind his name and condoning evil.

From the pulpit to the pew, let us take heed, God sees. Our way of life must not repel, don't be the stumbling block. Depart from iniquity. Don't make a mess of the mercies of God.
Remain steadfast in love.

There are many sides to a story, don't be too quick to judge.
