Story of the Day
I don’t know if you have heard this story or not but I was very encouraged by it today.
One year at the Feast of the Tabernacles, the Pharisees decided to retry a previous trick on Jesus while the Lord and the twelve were in Jerusalem (John 8:1-11). Again they had caught a prostitute in the immoral action and they siezed her and brought her before Jesus.
Peter, remembering how this went the previous year, told Jesus, “I got this,” and stepped out from the group to confront the Pharisees. As they were asking Jesus the question about the Law, Peter stooped down and began to draw in the dirt, just like Jesus did. Then he stood up and boldly proclaimed to the Pharisees, “Let he who has no sin cast the first stone.”
As soon as Peter said this, something hit him in the back of the head. He looked down at the ground and saw the stone that hit him. He heard someone laughing and he turned to face them, thinking it was his brother or the sons of Zebedee. When he turned around he saw Jesus laughing at him, “You said he who has no sin.”
