Devotional
Jesus did not rush to judgment when the woman was brought before Him. Instead, He examined the accusers first, highlighting the importance of self-examination. Authentic Christian living requires us to continually examine ourselves, our motives, and our actions. It is easy to point fingers and judge others, but true maturity comes from looking inward and addressing our own shortcomings. Let us commit to self-examination and growth in our faith journey.
