바리새인들이 현장에서 간음한 여인을 주고 어찌하면 좋겠느냐고 할 때에 예수님은 죄 있는자가 먼저 돌로 치라고 하셨을 때에 한 사람씩 한사람씩 돌을 놓고 모두들 가 버렸습니다 예수님을 올무에 빠뜨릴려고 했지만 예수님을 올무에 빠뜨릴 수가 없었습니다 천지를 만드시고 사람을 만드신 창조주 하나님이신데 그 누가 당해낼수 있습니까 의인은 없나니 하나도 없다고 성경은 말씀하고 있습니다 우리는 하나같이 다 죄인 입니다 자기도 죄인데 누가 누구를 정죄한단 말입니까 누가 범죄하면 정죄하기 보다 자신을 돌아보면 나도 죄인인것을 부인할 수 없습니다 주님 나를 불쌍이 여기소서 나는 죄인이로소이다 하며 겸손한 자세로 낮아지며 십자가만 바라보며 주님을 끝까지 따라가서 마침내 천국에 꼴인할 수 있는 우리들이 됩시다요
