Bottom line from week 1 session
Judgment Call 1: Busted – Drop the rock. What makes a good person or a bad person? That’s easy, right? We all have an opinion about how the best kind of people behave. And if we’re honest, we usually conclude that we are the best kind of person. That the way we live, think, and act is the best way to be. Maybe that’s why it’s so easy to judge people who are different from us. We assume that, even when we sin, their sin is probably worse than ours. That was exactly what happened when some religious leaders brought a woman to Jesus. She had been caught in the middle of something scandalous. And while the religious leaders had problems of their own, they were pretty convinced that they weren’t as bad as her. Everyone watching thought they knew what Jesus would do, how He would react. But as He often did, Jesus surprised them all. And through His response, we find that we, like the religious leaders, have only one option when it comes to judging others. We must drop the rock.
