John
8:7 KJV
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said
unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
The Bible makes it clear that
these men had brought the woman and the accusation against her to Jesus
"tempting Him." There is no
spiritual relationship between them and the Lord and their purpose for asking
their questions was disingenuous. At first the Lord acted as if He had not heard
them. But when they continued asking, they got their answer.
There are many times we pray
and feel like the Lord has not heard us.
- It might be the state of our heart
- It might be there is unconfessed
sin
- It might be there is ought between
ourselves and a brother or sister in the Lord
Or it could be that the Lord
has some other lesson for us to learn in the waiting.
These men, though clearly
undeserving of an answer, received one from the Lord when they continued
asking. So continue to ask of the Lord. Do not faint prayer. Ask and don't
quit.
