Grace When It Is Not Deserved: What Was Jesus Writing in the Dirt?

In this episode, Dr. Mario Escobedo unpacks the powerful story in John 8:1–11, where Jesus is confronted with a woman caught in adultery. It’s a moment filled with tension, legalism, shame—and unexpected grace. What Jesus does in this encounter challenges everything we think we know about justice, mercy, and how we treat those who fall short. You’ll walk away with fresh insight into the character of Jesus and a deeper understanding of how grace can—and must—be extended, even when condemnation seems justified. 🔴 JOIN the Live Bible Study Workshop — From Text to Truth Want to grow in your Bible study skills with a clear, repeatable process? 📅 Forget the wait list.
