I AM JESUS (2)
John 8:12 “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
All through scripture, you can see the light contrasted with darkness.

John 8:3-12
The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

John 8:12 “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
All through scripture, you can see the light contrasted with darkness.
1. THE LAW REVEALS OUR GUILT. (John 8:3-6)
Until we see ourselves as sinners, we won’t see our need for a Savior.
The good news is it doesn’t stop with the law.
2. THE LOVE REVEALS GOD’S GRACE. (John 8:6-11)
Was she guilty? Did she deserve punishment? Yes!
But because of Jesus love for her, grace was revealed.
3. THE LIGHT REVEALS OUR HOPE. (John 8:12)
At that moment, Jesus was no longer the Light of THE world, He actually became the Light of HER world!
No matter how dark your world seems right now, He is the light. And in a moment of time:
•His light can illuminate your darkness,
•His grace can forgive your sins,
•His presence can bring healing to your shame.

Perhaps today you are the sheep that needs the shepherd, and he is coming for you. He loves you that much.
Maybe you know Psalm 23 by heart, but do you know the Good Shepherd personally?
