We all live in glass houses! That's why it's best not to throw too many stones at other people. I constantly hear folks pick an issue that they are passionate about and condemn people who fail at that issue... yet if that same person would take a few minutes to evaluate their own life... they would find that there is some issue that they are failing at too! You see, in God's eyes, a sin is a sin. And Paul says it right in Romans... "we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God." It's a dangerous thing to elevate ourselves too high... for that makes the fall even harder.
Jesus' interaction with the woman caught in adultery is a great example here... the law said she should be stoned to death... but Jesus said that the one without sin should throw the first stone... no one did... all her accusers hung their heads and walked away... then Jesus did the greatest thing... he extended her grace and forgiveness.
I have a lot to learn from this exchange of Jesus! Think of what a different place our world would be if we were all less quick to point out someone else's faults and worked diligently on our own!
