Desafortunadamente, tambien nos podemos identificar con la multitud hipocrita, deleitandose en el rechazo del “otro.” Pero podemos identificarnos totalmente con Cristo, el Dios que intervino para salvarla?

El lo dice como es, con un deseo de motivar a aquellos que se sienten dispuestos a cautivar el mundo a su alrededor, no por medio de agendas politicas o religiosas, sino mediante la gracia y el amor. Suelta las piedras invita a los seguidores de Jesus a soltar sus piedras religiosas y, con las manos abiertas, engranar en el gratificante estilo de vida de un amor al estilo de Jesus.
When a woman caught in the act of adultery was thrown down at Jesus’ feet, the bloodthirsty crowd filled their hands with rocks and demanded she be put to death. That confrontation still reverberates in our lives today. Surely we can relate with the shame of the woman and her exposed sin. Unfortunately, we can also relate with the hypocritical crowd, reveling in the rejection of “the other.” But can we fully relate with Christ, the God who intervened to save her?
For those who’ve become wary of tired and sometimes even offensive Christian dogmatism, Carlos Rodriguez may be the spark that ignites the flames of faith in the true Jesus. He tells it like it is, with a desire to motivate those who feel ready to engage the world around them, not through political or religious agendas, but through grace and love. Drop the Stones invites followers of Jesus to drop their religious rocks and culture war cliches, and, with open hands, engage in the rewarding lifestyle of a Jesus-styled love. -
