Evening: Psalms 23, 27; John 7:53-8:11
How tragically common (comic even) it is for us to judge others. Do we think ourselves more virtuous than they are, so they are fair game? Or do we even consider it as carefully as that? Human judging is mostly habitual; we fall into it. Perhaps it makes us feel better about ourselves? Jesus gets to the heart of the matter; when those who judge the adulteress are lining up to stone her (no mention of her partner in the crime!), Jesus says: “Let the one who is without sin throw the first stone.” They (we) slink away.
