The First Battle of AI

I can identify with Achan much better than I can identify with those who stoned him. I would have been with those who slunk away from Christ when He said, “Let him that is without sin first cast a stone at her.”

What turmoil must have filled the hearts of those men of Jericho: how many of them had been tempted over the gold and silver and wealth of Jericho. But if covetousness is the sin, how many of them were without sin when they stoned Achan? That’s why we have no stonings after the coming of the Lord Jesus, because He taught us a better way.
