Caught...

"But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, 'He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.' " John 8:7; NASB

The only one able to cast the first stone at the woman caught in the act of adultery, was Jesus. However, instead, He speaks compassion into her life and tells her to sin no more. He didn't ask any questions.  He made no accusation. He cast no condemnation onto her. He instead was loving, kind, patient, gracious, merciful, gentle, and filled with self-control in dealing with her.

How do we respond to those caught in the very act of sin?
