Jesus audience was full of religious leaders that took pride that their actions were so very pure but he knew what was going on inside their heads.

Did you ever wonder what Jesus wrote in the dust in John 8:8? Maybe it was some of the names of the good looking ladies in town that these guys were wishing that they could be with. Thinking about these ladies in an impure way is just as bad as being with them, what a shock to the religious leaders that had so much pride in the fact that they didn't behave that way.
Help us Lord to apply this teaching to our lives so that our homes and our churches will be stronger.
