I am the Light of the World
Text: John 8
What could he mean by this idea that he is light.
Well compare it to the darkness.
Darkness, in John 8:12, is the Greek word skotia, defined as the
“darkness due to the want of light”
It is used to describe ignorance of divine things.
It’s associated with wickedness, and the resultant misery in hell.
Genesis 1:4 says, “God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.”
Jesus is the Light of the world, and all who are separate or far from Him live in darkness.
Being separate, ignorant, or unaware of the dark leaves us wanting for something we cannot produce on our own.
We come to the end of ourselves in frustration, hopelessness, or an aloof sense of happiness and joy, when we traverse through life in darkness.
With Christ, we have the absolute fullness of life.

He will go on to argue his point with the Scribes by pointing out that
Their judgment brings no light.
10 - because it produces no righteousness.
God bears witness of Jesus.
18 That if you do not believe in Jesus you will die in your sins.
24
The passage before us comes with a load of context: Jesus finds himself in a crowd listening to his sermon in the temple.
He is then interrupted by a rowdy group of scribes and Pharisees.
In tow to they drag a woman who was caught in the very act of adultery.
They are ceasing on this as an opportunity to highlight Jesus failure as a leader and point to the crowd his inconsistency.
Problem is that Jesus stoops to the ground and draws in the sand.
He then commands:
…He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. vs. 7
Then goes back to writing on the ground.
John lets us in on a little detail.
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
vs. 9
After Jesus declares the woman forgives her he makes this declaration “I am the Light of the World.”
The question I have is “Who needed the light”
The Woman who’s being judged and can never be brought to righteousness through their hatred.
Your Consideration for others.
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Philippians 2:4
