John 8:11–12, Sin no more…I am. The entire message of the Bible is contained in these two verses. Like the adulterous woman, all humans have sinned and deserve the death penalty. Yeshua’s merciful grace caused the woman to be spared. He then admonishes her to stop sinning or violating the Torah, which is sin (1 John 3:4). After this, Yeshua declares that he is the light of the world and instructs the woman to follow him out of the darkness of her sinful past and into the light of Torah-righteousness leading to the abundant life and eventually to immortality. This is a terse yet timeless message to every human everywhere who has ever drawn breath.
He said ‘sin no more” not just don’t commit adultery anymore=you break one, you break them all!
Good point. Hadn’t thought of it that way before. Thanks. James 2:10.
Natan,
What do you think Yeshua was writing in the dust with His finger?
Could it possibly have been Tet?
John
People have asked me this many times, or have speculated what they think. Honestly, I have no idea.
I have a policy. When the Bible is silent about something, then I’m silent about it as well, since I’ve found that speculation on things that the Scriptures don’t reveal is generally fruitless and a waste of time, in my opinion.
That’s a question we’ll have to ask Yeshua. We’ll have an eternity to ask him to fill in the blanks of Scripture! HalleluYah!
