"Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground." -John 8:8

I would love to know what Jesus wrote on the ground that day. But that's not the main point. Jesus could have carried out punishment in accordance with Jewish law. But he didn't. He eased the tension in humility and reminded us that we have no right to condemn.

Jesus offers us a new life amid a deserving death penalty.
