“And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.”
John 8:8 KJV
And then Jesus bent over again and wrote some more words in the dust. Jesus wrote in the dust to fulfil the prophetic word by Jeremiah, “Yahweh, You are the only hope of Israel! All who forsake You will be covered with shame. Those who turn away from You will be written in the dirt. To forsake You, Yahweh, is to forsake the fountain of living waters.” Those who forsake God are in spiritual adultery and are written in dust. All of the accusers of the woman caught in adultery, were guilty of having forsaken God, the fountain of living water. Yet they were so anxious to stone this woman to death. The same finger that wrote the Ten Commandments in stone also wrote the names of each of the accusers in the dirt write in front of their eyes, pointing to their hypocrisy. So let’s put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. Let’s be those who never need to verify our speech as truthful by swearing by the heavens or the earth or any other oath. But instead we must be so full of integrity that our “Yes” or “No” is convincing enough and we do not stumble into hypocrisy. Amen!
