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. 

In His Grip

At the altar, our destiny is altered

At the altar, our destiny is altered... Reference-  Job 37:23-24 MSG “Mighty God! Far beyond our reach!     Unsurpassable in Power and Justice!     It’s unthinkable that HE would treat anyone unfairly. So bow to HIM in deep reverence, one and all!     If you’re wise, you’ll most certainly worship HIM.” God is unfolding His story in His own way. The Sovereign and Supreme Ruler is in control of everyone, everything, and everywhere, and the accuser must seek His permission before acting against us. He sees us as His own, and we belong to Him just as He belongs to us. As Job said, God can do all things, and no purpose of His can be stopped (42:2). The Just and Righteous Judge – Our God is fundamentally just, and it’s unthinkable that He would treat anyone unfairly. His rule and governance are righteous, even if at times our eyes, ears, and hearts may not fully understand. The source of all wisdom and revelation is God , whose knowledge is complete unlike ...

God's way is the Power

God's way is God's Power Reference- 1 Cor 4:20 MSG -  God’s Way is not a matter of mere talk; it’s an empowered life!! In 1 Corinthians, Paul speaks to a divided church where some were proud, eloquent, and believed they were spiritually superior because of their words and wisdom. He contrasts this human pride with the true power of God, shown in the cross, in changed lives, and in the work of the Spirit, the God's Power. It’s an empowered life—God’s ways are the true power, not found in mere talk, endless words, idle chatter, or impressive responses built on layers of discussion. It is a life empowered by the power of His Spirit, the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is power that breaks chains, sets us free, anoints us, and creates new opportunities, fresh paths, flourishing streams, divine strategies, abundant life, and limitless expansion. Paul didn’t ask the Corinthians to be practical . It’s not about having everything, but about having Him alongside others. That’s why h...

Efforts that counts...

Efforts that counts... Reference- 2 Ch 17  Context: King Jehoshaphat was a seeker and follower of the God of his father and was obedient to HIM; he wasn’t like Israel (at that time, Ahab was ruling Israel). And God secured the kingdom under his rule, gave him a firm grip on it. And everyone in Judah showed their appreciation by bringing gifts. Jehoshaphat ended up very rich and much honoured. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone - Apostle James in 2:17 Efforts that showed his intention to Seek and Keep Him: Sticking to the ways of Asa (his godly father). Rejecting Baal — non-conformity to the ungodly culture. Removing high places and Asherah poles. This is personal reformation — the king putting his own house in order spiritually. Efforts that enabled others to Seek and Keep Him: Building defences — not just military, but spiritual covering. Sending teachers throughout Judah with the “Book of the Revelation of God” (likely the Torah or existing OT Scriptures). ...
