CAST THE FIRST STONE
Basic Scripture: Matthew 7:1-10
How swift we can be in judging others! Just the other day, I
heard an unpleasant story about a brother and I became so furious that I said:
“Who does he think he is? And he calls himself a Chritian.”On and on went my
utterances. After a while, my spirit became restless! Some questions that kept
reoccurring in my mind were: “AM I A BETTER CHRISTIAN than this brother?” By
judging him, am I not even worse than him? Have I ever prayed for him? Matt
7:1-2 says, “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge,
ye shall be judged and for with what ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”

I was so mindful of the speck in this brother’s eyes because
the devil had disguised the log I had in my eyes (we all have ‘logs ‘in our
eyes). The woman in today’s scripture was an adulteress; that brother/sister could
be a cheat or gossip, but before you cast that stone, check yourself. Are you
perfect? 1 cor. 11”31 says, “For if we will judge ourselves, we should not be
judged.” The next time you want to casts stone, pause for moment and ask
yourself: “Am I any better?” JUDGE YOURSELF; PRAY FOR OTHERS!
