John 8:3 “As (Jesus) was speaking, the teachers of religious law and Pharisees brought a woman they had caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd.”
The religious crowd seemed to be more interested in “catching” someone in their offense instead of “restoring” them. The religious crowd asked Jesus “Moses’ law says to kill her, what do you say?” Jesus stooped on the ground to write something. Many ask, “what did he write?” Wrong question. The right question is “why was Jesus on the ground?” He was on the ground because she was on the ground. You know the rest of this story.
This is the heart of Jesus…Restoration! When we fail, He doesn’t fail us. He simply says “re-do!” Matthew 12:20 says ” A bruised reed shall He not break, and smoking flax shall He not quench.”
