Transcript

Alright, thank you very much. And hello again, radio friends. How in the world are you? Yes, this is your friend, Bob Cook, and I am interested in how you are. And I pray every time I go before these microphones that God may have some special word of help, an encouragement, an inspiration for you, my precious friends.

We’re looking at the Gospel of John, we’ve come now to chapter eight. The story of our Lord’s response to a cleverly laid trap which was facing him, the scribes and the Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery. And they said, “Now, Moses said that a person like this should be stoned. But what do you say?” “This,” they said, tempting him that they might have some way to accuse him. You get the idea, I’m sure, do you not? If he said, “Do not stone her,” he was violating the law of Moses. If he said, “Yes, stone her,” he was violating the law of Rome, and they could accuse him either way. “With that, now we’ve got him.” Small thought here. Have you ever noticed how hard people work to oppose God and to do the wrong thing?

I would suppose that your average thief or pickpocket or robber or mugger or criminal of any kind ends up working far harder at his or her nefarious trade than the rest of the people who are engaged in honest pursuits. We work very hard to do wrong. “The way of the transgressors is hard,” the Bible says. And there’s never been any change to that truth uttered as it was thousands of years ago. Well, they thought they’d lay the trap for him. If he said, “Yes, stone her,” he was upholding Moses but violating the law of Rome. If he said, “No, don’t stone her,” he was violating the law of Moses, so they thought they had him. He said they continued asking him, harassing him, “Come on, come on. Give us an answer. Come on, now.” He stooped down and with his finger wrote on the ground as though he heard them not. I don’t know what he wrote. This is the only occasion on which the Lord Jesus Christ has said to have written anything. His life and his ministry had a much greater effect than anything that he would have written.

But now, he’s writing on the ground and there’s all sorts of conjecture. Some people think he wrote Scripture, passages that had to do with this. Someone else has suggested that he began listing the personal sins with the names of the people standing before him, an interesting concept if indeed it happened. We don’t know what he wrote, but they kept on asking him. And so, he stood up again and said, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast the stone at her.” And again, he stooped down and wrote on the ground, and they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest even unto the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus lifted up himself and saw none but the woman he said, “Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee?” She said, “No man, Lord.” He said, “Neither do I condemn thee, go, sin no more.”
