“A group of men preparing to stone an [[Adultery|adulterous]] woman to [[death]] were addressed by [[Jesus]] with the [[words]]: 'He that is without [[sin]] among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” ([https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/Gospel_of_John#Chapter_8 John 8:7])
===Lesson===
Thought Adjuster: “Jesus had a keen [[ability]] to defuse volatile situations, which earned him the honorary title of [[Prince of Peace]]. Those of you who wish to follow in his remarkable footsteps have to do it from a place of [[peace]]—not one of emotional [[turmoil]].
Only the unruffled [[surface]] of a clear body of water can accurately [[reflect]] its surroundings. If your emotional state is tempestuous, blemished by the entertainment of personal [[vendetta]], its blurriness will reflect a [[distorted]] image unfit to restore inner or outer peace.
Jesus’ message of [[compassion]] went even further. As the only sinless [[individual]] among an agitated [[mob]], he bravely stood up on behalf of the accused, shielding her from the [[collective]] outrage. His few pointed [[words]] made it crystal clear that sinners are not qualified to sit in fair [[judgment]] of others’ moral [[transgressions]]. He also comforted the frightened woman by relaying to her the saving [[grace]] that the all-compassionate [[The Father|Father]] extends to all. Not only did he save her life, but he also imparted a [[practical]] lesson in [[character]] [[nobility]]. He made all his [[decisions]] from that high spiritual platform, becoming a shining example for [[love]] in [[action]]—in stark contrast with reactional [[hate]].
On another occasion, in a rare exhibition of righteous [[indignation]], he [[173:1 Cleansing the Temple|expelled the merchants and money changers from the Temple]], accusing them of turning it into a den of [[thieves]]. Many of you mention this episode as a justification for [[violent]] behaviors when dealing with upsetting predicaments.
Yet they overlook a significant [[difference]]: The Temple's legitimate use was to serve as a place of [[worship]], [[prayers]], and spiritual [[enlightenment]], solely devoted to conducting [[the Father]]'s business. Merchants and money lenders were shameless trespassers who [[Desecrate|desecrated]] this holy place. As his earthly [[representative]], Jesus defended the Father’s property.
Take time to ponder how you can alter unbecoming behaviors—always putting [[the Father]] first, raising your [[voice]] amid the public mayhem to make his [[still small voice]] heard loud and clear for all to take under humble consideration.”
