In His Presence
01 April  2001


Long ago He walked the earth
at a place called
The mount of Olives
where a line of people formed


Where early one morning
He came again to the temple
As the people stepped forth
and next to Him did assemble


He sat down and taught them
what life was truly about
However in the group
where those with doubt


Forward to His presence was brought
a woman taken in scorn as it were
Then Jesus said unto them
“He that is without sin among you
let him first cast a stone at her”




“Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should
be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting
him that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped
down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though
he heard them not. So when they continued asking him,
he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is
without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”
John 8: 5-7 KJV

a poet who cares

Oh how we need to go over this one in practice again and again!  AS one said, we may think we have it, only to find we're looking down on those who look down on others.  Thanks for the good reminder.

A true poem showing the unconditional grace and forgiveness of Jesus.  I love this Bible story.  I think it is the one time Jesus kind of got back at the crowds who were always trying to trap Him.  I loved your poem and thought it was great.  A great story from a great Gospel.
