Looking at chapter eight you can help but focus on the story of the woman that Jesus saves! Wouldn’t it be interesting to know what Jesus wrote in the sand?
I have heard a theory that Jesus wrote the 10 commandments…others believe that he wrote secret sins of the people or their names to fulfill Jeremiah 17:13:
O LORD, the hope of Israel,
all who forsake you will be put to shame.
Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust
because they have forsaken the LORD,
the spring of living water.
-JEREMIAH 17:13
the truth is though that we have no idea! Whatever it was, when combined with what he said, “If any of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” After saying this Jesus started writing in the sand again…
It was convicting for sure, but it also points out the fact that we are ALL sinners! Just as Romans 3:23 says, ”For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
Lets focus on loving God, loving people and treating them like Christ did, with compassion and care!
