In John ch 8 we are told a story of a woman bought to Jesus who had been caught in adultery. The scenario is very well known but what I find intruiging about this story is what I perceive as Christ’s subtle hint at his deity … he writes with his finger in the sand. If we consider that the 10 commandments were written on stone tablets by the very finger of God himself we could draw a very interesting conclusion … as follows …..
They bring a legal matter of the 10 commandments to Christ.
He leans down and starts to draw in the sand …. basically saying …
‘You dare to question me on the Law? Do you not know that I wrote this very Law with my finger – it was I that gave it to Moses in the first place – I can tell you anything you want to know about it from its wording, to its intent, its subtlties and its implications’
Jesus was telling them that he was God.
