From Darkness to Light
God's Promises
God Promises Light in the Darkness
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) John 8:12-20 New International Version Dispute Over Jesus’ Testimony12 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.
For Reflection
Jesus' claim to the world that I am the light is a claim to be God. Remember, it was God who crafted the world out of darkness, and by God's proclamation, shed light all over the earth. Jesus’ claim to be the Light of the world means that He reveals the truth about God to us and us to us.
