Neutral Space

Remember the story of the woman taken in adultery found in the New Testament – John 8?

 

The story is told of the Savior going unto the Mount of Olives when the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery unto Him. As I narrate the story pay attention to how the Savior remained neutral in His response even though He was the only party in the right.

The scribes and Pharisees bring the adulteress before Jesus seeking to tempt Him (deceive and trick would be accurate as well.) Without saying a word (or probably making an expression) Jesus stoops down and commences writing upon the ground.
