Because that would have been a greater, a way greater injustice. And what a perfect response that Jesus had. And most of the times, Jesus doesn't punish those with cruelty or torture, but rather with a mirror. Sometimes God isn't punishing you by putting you through a crazy circumstance or through hardcore suffering. Sometimes Jesus just holds up a mirror and sin will punish itself.

Sometimes wickedness will do all that it needs to do. It's not the hand of God. It's not the hand of some satanic oppression or attack. It's literally just the repercussion of your own sin. And what the Pharisees were dealing with was the judgment of their own sin of which they committed. Jesus just released it and held up a mirror. That was it.

And so the authority and the judgment of Jesus that he carried through the scripture is so important, especially when it came to like the writing on the ground. Because we don't know what Jesus was saying whenever he was writing on the ground. It doesn't tell us anywhere through scriptural evidence. No one tells us. There's theological debates and theories for sure.

But nowhere in scripture does it tell us verbatim this is what Jesus was writing on the ground. And... I wonder at times, what was Jesus writing? Because here's the thing about scripture. Scripture is not going to say anything just to say something.

Even if it's a mystery, the word of God will always leave in a detail or some sort of description because there's a bigger picture being taken that you just can't see fully. And so I started to ask, why did Jesus write on the ground? Not what was he writing on the ground, but why? And Jesus went down twice to write with his fingers.

So I was just kind of accumulating these facts and just allowing the Holy Spirit to just help me. And we just know that we don't know what Jesus was saying. We just know what plays a significant role into the story.

and so the only other occasion which i started to look in scripture where where i want to i want to say this so well the only other occasion where we see an instance like this of the finger of god or of jesus being written into the ground is in exodus 31 when god inscribes the ten commandments on two stone tablets with his very finger My God.

When Moses then broke the tablets out of anger, he saw the Israelites idolizing all these false gods, the golden calf, and God again, for a second time, wrote the commandments on the stone with his very finger.

So perhaps the story of emphasis is not what Jesus wrote on the ground, but it's the fact that a moment where judgment was needed, the authority of Jesus Christ was revealed through the imitation of God's finger. So get this, it doesn't matter what Jesus was writing down,

in the sand or on the ground but it was the fact that in that moment jesus was replicating his father and he was releasing judgment not just by saying something but by showing that his finger is the same finger that wrote the law that the pharisees were trying to accuse him and this woman of and so sometimes jesus don't gotta say much he's just gotta show you who wrote it
