Summary
If you've ever read the story about the woman caught in adultery, you know that the Jews who wanted to stone her walked away after Jesus bent down and wrote something in the dirt. The Gospel never tells us what he wrote, but by putting together four different scriptural clues, Jeff thinks he's got a pretty good guess. Find out Jeff's take on the story, and how his interpretation shows God's desire to free you from shame.
