The Light of the World

Then Jesus spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.”
John 8:12 HCSB

The Pharisees had just brought a woman, they claimed had been caught in the act of adultery, for judgement. They were testing Jesus. These arrogant leaders were wanting to stone this woman to death. They did not bring the man but rather chose to accuse the woman, the weaker sex and probably the one sex had been imposed upon. Jesus had, instead of judging the woman, stooped to the ground and began writing. We are not told what He wrote but His words gave an indication: " He who is without sin cast the first stone."

The words above follow this incident and the Pharisees are quick to attack: " you testify about yourself, your testimony is not valid." Today men and women reject the words of Jesus as they confront their own belief that they are God and judge. Yet for the hearing heart, we hear a loving Christ offering a dark world an answer.

If Jesus is the light of the world, why not seek Him.

Currently I am in a darkened place where people worship all manner of gods, and a growing number are coming to know Jesus. John the apostle said: " for whoever received Him He gave power to be sons of God.". John 1:12

Who else offers sonship? Who else offers cleansing from sin? Who can cleanse from sin but Jesus? Try Him today. Amen!
