Verse of the Day
For Saturday, July 27 2024, Verse of the Day.
Again, he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
— John 8:8 Verse of the Day.
Thoughts on Today’s Verse of the Day….
In a few short words, Jesus is reported to have written on the ground twice (John 8:6). He kept writing until all the accusers had left (John 8:9–10)!
The Bible says nothing about the details Jesus etched in the dust. The fact that He brings it up multiple times implies that it’s a crucial component of His answer. It’s possible that He was writing passages from the Old Testament to bolster His argument.
Alternatively, as some have proposed, He might have taken down the names and transgressions of a few of the women’s accusers. Whatever He wrote, it is reasonable to believe that it contributed to the Pharisees’ and Scribes’ failure to pursue their goal.
Verse of the day: The law mandates the punishment of both guilty parties.
Generally speaking, Jesus responds by demonstrating that the rabble that brought this lady is not attempting to abide by the law—either in text or spirit. According to Leviticus 20:10 and Deuteronomy 22:22, adulterers must be stoned to death.
However, the law stipulates that this punishment must be applied to both guilty parties. This is not a guilty man in sight!
Furthermore, according to the Torah (Deuteronomy 17:7), the one who accuses another must start the punishment himself.
The Old Testament demands holiness as much as it demands proper judgement and kindness (Proverbs 21:10; Zechariah 7:8–9; Matthew 23:23). This leads to a total turnaround, as does Jesus’ questioning of the accusers’ moral arguments. Every challenger departs (John 8:9). —Verse of the Day.
My Prayer…
“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,” Luke 4:1.
The Holy Ghost will give me divine directions and lead me in all situations today and forever. The Holy Ghost will build me into the fullness of Christ. May the Lord be my shield as I journey by the Holy Spirit. I returned that evil arrow of stroke to its sender.
I see God perfecting every imperfection in my life, for my days of stagnation and sorrow are over.
It is well with me. —Verse of the Day.
