John 8:12-20
12:
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world.
Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of
life.”
13:
The Pharisees challenged him, “Here you are, appearing as your own witness;
your testimony is not valid.”
14:
Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for
I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I
come from or where I am going.
15:
You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one.
16:
But if I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with
the Father, who sent me.
17:
In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true.
18:
I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent
me.”
19:
Then they asked him, “Where is your father?” “You do not know me or my Father,”
Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
20:
He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts near the place where
the offerings were put. Yet no one seized him, because his hour had not yet
come.
(New
International Version Holy Bible)
TOPIC:
JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
You
cannot be a Christian and walk in darkness. That is, you cannot be a true follower
of Christ and still be living in sin.
Jesus
made it clear to His listeners that He is the Light of the world and that
whoever follows Him will never walk in darkness but have the light of life.
Followers
of Jesus must, therefore, not be involved in stealing, lying, embezzlement,
immorality, misappropriation of funds and other forms of corrupt practices. You
are expected to be the light in your place of work, school, church and society.
QUESTION:
Do your actions and words show that you are a true follower of Christ?
PRAYER:
Please help me, Oh Lord to be a light unto those I find wherever I am.
Remain
Blessed
