The idea of fence loss is ancient and Jesus Christ is interacting with it throughout the gospel accounts. Early Jewish leaders had talked about the phrase make a fence around the law as part of their directive to keep people from breaking the commandments. The most satisfactory answer seems to be that John sent his disciples to question Jesus about his identity so that they themselves would at long last realize the truth of what John had been testifying.
What brings us closer to Jesus Christ? Dr. John Hilton III explores finding Christ in media, using Fence Laws, and relying on the Savior.
