Casting Stones

Casting Stones

By Kristina Krampe



I dropped the stone that I had found,

and watched it fall upon the ground.

I looked to God and promised Him,

I wouldn’t hold that stone again.



For throwing stones, We must not do!

Our Savior said that only who

Had never sinned, may cast the stone;

so we must leave the stone, alone.



He, who sinless, could of cast

the stones upon us, for our past

Chose a cross and hung, alone

in place of picking up a stone…



John 8:7-11 NKJV

So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”
