The power that you and I have to hurt is hideous and diabolical. But the power we have to heal is infinite. We possess the power of Jesus Christ’s love. We have this power, you and I. If we have the courage to take a step from our selfish grasping onto our hurts and a step into the Love of Jesus Christ, we can join him in transforming the world. The life of the woman caught in adultery was radically changed by the man who was challenged to judge her. He was more concerned with her than he was with her sin. She found reason to respect herself, for she learned from Jesus that she was lovable, and she was loved. Jesus calls us to pick up our crosses and follow him. To pick up our crosses, we have to drop our stones.
