(Theta) Fulfilled (Deuteronomy 4:13 & Matthew 5:17)
God wrote on the stone tablets but we also know that God has written on your hearts. We read in 2 Corinthians 3:3, “And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.” But what about when Jesus writes on the sand? This happened at the time a woman caught in adultery was threatened with being stoned. So is there a connection between sand and the stone tablets and the human condition? One idea! When Jesus writes in the sand He is connecting with the dust in Genesis 2 that describes our created purpose. Jesus knows He has to bear the accusation that the stone tablets make against this woman. The two stone tablets will crush Him. His crumbled self is now like the dust of our first creation. But now He is the new creation in us who recreates us into the people we were meant to be in the beginning when God created us from dust. We now are free in Christ Alone to go and to sin no more since our Lord is with us and His Spirt is making us into living letters of hope for all those who are being accused and crushed by the law. May Jesus encourage your life as His letter of hope in the world.
