Bible Question: Was Jesus writing the Ten COmmandments in the sand, or was he writing the sins of each person in John 8 when he confronted those people? |
Bible Answer: Dear K, I don't think that anyone knows what He was writing, because we are not told. However, why He was writing could be that, as with any animal, eye contact causes emotions like anger and fear to escalate. This crowd was about to 'do their duty' of killing someone in the name of the Law. Jesus, with His unprovoking nature, logic, and authority, gave an opportunity for repentance and life to this sinner. Thank You, Jesus! |
