Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.’ Then the Pharisees said to him, ‘You are testifying on your own behalf; your testimony is not valid.’ Jesus answered, ‘Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid because I know where I have come from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going. You judge by human standards; I judge no one. Yet even if I do judge, my judgement is valid; for it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father who sent me. In your law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is valid. I testify on my own behalf, and the Father who sent me testifies on my behalf.’ Then they said to him, ‘Where is your Father?’ Jesus answered, ‘You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.’ (John 8:12-19, NRSV)
Have you ever noticed that when you light a match or a lighter, that the darkness seems to sink away?
darkness seems to be foreboding, and all encompassing, yet the smallest amount of light makes the darkness shrink away!
You have the light of the world dwelling inside of you! You have a great light shining from you to make the darkness run away screaming!
Be a wonderful beacon of hope shining in the darkness of this world, to show people the way to God and the saving relationship we all can have with Jesus!
