When Jesus said, "whoever is without sin, cast the first stone" He presented us with a great problem, namely that none of us are without sin. Logically it means you and I cannot throw stones at someone who has done wrong because we live in a 'glass house.'
So, what should our attitude be to the now ex England captain John Terry who has allegedly had numerous affairs during his marriage? Perhaps, "well but for the grace of God there go I," or maybe the other end of the scale and be like the media and look for even gorier details of his life?
It is worth noting that Jesus said to the woman caught in adultery, "go and sin no more." Jesus did not condemn the woman, however he did not condone what she had done.
It may be that John Terry may lose something far more valuable than the England captaincy. He has a wife and children, think of the trust that has been lost and how they must feel.
So, whether you are a football fan or not, please don't condemn or condone, just pray for all those involved.
