JESUS IS THE LIGHT FOR THE WORLD

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London- 11Jul2025

Scripture Reference: Jn 8:12 (CEV)- Once again JESUS spoke to the people/ pharisees. This time He said, ''I AM THE LIGHT FOR THE WORLD!''. Follow me and you won't be walking in the dark.

John 8 begins with a significant test for JESUS. Early in the morning, all the people gathered around HIM, and JESUS sat down to teach them. Everything was going smoothly when suddenly the Scribes and Pharisees brought forward a woman, making her stand in the center of the court. They quoted the law of Moses, referencing the one who had given them the Law, in an attempt to challenge JESUS.

WHAT DO YOU SAY...in other Words, WHAT is JESUS Sentence? They persisted in questioning Him

They said this to test Him, to fetch the ground to accuse HIM. But Jesus, stooped down, began writing, on the ground, with His Finger. Jesus straightened up. I love this passage for this purpose alone. No INDIRECT Answers, but DIRECT, CLEAR and PROMPTING to think. He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her. The crowd suddenly realized they were in deeper trouble than the woman herself. The troublemakers had an epiphany—they were more rattled than they cared to admit. One by one, from the oldest (with the most sins stacked up) to the youngest (still working on their collection), they quietly slinked away.. 

The beauty is that she was left out with JESUS, standing alone there before Him. She once stood in the centre of the court, but Now in front of the Master, a Precious moment. We all have experienced that first encounter, so close to our hearts, haven't we? She waited to hear what Jesus would say next—punishment or patience, pointing out her mistake or guiding her toward a new path.

I DO NOT CONDEMN YOU, GO, FROM NOW on SIN NO MORE- These 12 words of Jesus Christ changed her life once for all.

He does not want to stop HIS message to the people. Once again, JESUS resumed to Teaching a profound TRUTH- He is focused. Let us not distract to get His teaching daily.

Dear Father, Thank you for the teaching that You are THE WORLD's LIGHT. Jesus, You are the LIGHT FOR the WORLD. Whoever follows YOU will have a life filled with light and will never live in the dark. Holy Spirit, Walking in the light is our life experience and You will guide us to make our decisions/ actions/ activities to bring Glory to the Father. When we walk in the light as HE is in the light, we have the fellowship with one another (I Jn 1:5-7). You are transforming us as the Light of the World, a city on a hill, a lamp on a stand to give light to everyone in the house, community, business and workplace (Mt 5:14-16). We ask You to help us reflect Your light, to shine before others through our good deeds, and to Glorify the Father in Heaven. In Jesus' Name, We Pray, Amen...

Peace be upon the State of Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Good Weekend.
