Subject: What was Jesus writing? |
Bible Note: Apparently since these people were acting upon the law, reminding them of it wouldn't have done much good and it would have only shown Jesus' knowledge of the scriptures. On the other hand if Jesus had been writing all the sins that each of these people had hidden in their hearts, perhaps the ones they felt most guilty about, this may have shown them the true deity of Christ and his ability to treat them with kindness even though He could see clearly the things they had hidden. So how could they stone this woman when they had been reminded of their own sins...just a thought. |
