The crowd brought a woman before Jesus and announced that she had been caught in adultry. They asked Jesus what should be done with her. He stooped and wrote something in the dirt. I choose to believe that he wrote some of the 10 commandments in the dirt because the people were shamed. Jesus said that the person without sin should cast the first stone. Jesus was the only person who was sinless, and He cast no stone. He offered love and forgiveness. Then finally he offered himself, his own life in exchange for hers and for all of ours. All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. All but one. The Lord Jesus Christ. Don't let anyone make you feel guilt and shame. The Lord our God stands in the gap for us. Repentance brings grace . Grace brings restoration. Only God can accuse and He refuses to do it.
