John 8

When Jesus is challenged, His answers are never what you expect! He’s confident, truthful. To the outside observer He could seem arrogant. Unless He is right. Then He’s just right! “I am the light of the world.” If I said that, it’d be arrogant. Even Kanye wouldn’t say that. (Maybe he would, but that’s crazy arrogant) When Jesus says it, it just happens to be true.

They call Him on it. They say He needs testimony to prove it. He says that even if it was only His testimony, it’d be right because He knows who He is and what that means. Then He answers them by saying that His Father gives testimony – and the trap is set!

Then He pushes them some more and challenges them with the statement that He spoke to Abraham. This would be crazy if not true. When He rises from the grave, it is proven to be true! We can trust Him and His testimony! So then what does He say about you and I? We are loved. Bought with a price. Meant to walk in the light. Freed by the truth (Him) to live as we were meant. Do you believe this?
