When faced with a woman’s impending execution, Jesus got down in the dirt with her. If the stones had flown, Jesus would’ve died. Jesus didn’t entertain any conversation. Jesus remained silent and got down in the dirt. In our culture, we keep seeing people thrown in the dirt. Instead of joining the oppressed and marginalized, we keep asking for more conversation. We don’t believe in following Jesus. We believe in conversation. We are heretics.
Amen.
