In the Line of Fire

"If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. John 8: 7-9 (NIV)

Everyday as we walk in amoungst people, we encounter much of the same things as Jesus did, especially like the scenario in John 8. We see a group of people judging and making fun of someone. I know everyday I see this walking through the halls of a highschool. Now, for just a second, take a step back and try to imagine what it would look like if you actually did the same thing that Jesus did and took a stand for the one being picked on. How would the people react? How would the person being made fun of react? I think this is an easy way to express the great love of God to someone, to stand in the line of fire and help the hurting. Allow the spirit to guide you to the right place at the right time, be open and receptive, hear His voice and impact the life of a peer - who doesnt want to do that??
