John 8:12-19

The religious right can be spiritually wrong. JESUS is the only answer and the HOLY SPIRIT is our personal guide. Trust Him to get you where you need to go and to accomplish what has been determined for you from the beginning of time. Pray for discernment.

Even the elect can be fooled.

“I Am the Light of the World”. As the sun is the physical light of the world, so Jesus is the spiritual light of the world. As the light of the world, Jesus exposes sin and gives sight. 

Even if the Pharisees could see the Father, they would not receive what Jesus said. Jesus came to reveal the Father, and they had not received Him. NKJ Bible.

The antagonism between Jesus and the Jewish religious leaders is cast as a battle between light and darkness.By referring to “your law” and not “our law,” Jesus appears to distance Himself from Jewish observance of Torah. By extension, the phrasing influences John’s audience to dissociate themselves from Judaism and “the Jews”. After claiming that His testimony is actually exempt from their requirement because of His unique origin, Jesus demonstrates that He is in compliance with their legal procedure anyway. There are two witnesses: Jesus Himself and God the Father. Faithlife Bible.

John 8:12–19 (NKJV)

¹² Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

¹³ The Pharisees therefore said to Him, “You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true.”

¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going. ¹⁵ You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. ¹⁶ And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. ¹⁷ It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. ¹⁸ I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.”

¹⁹ Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?”

Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.”

Isaiah 9:2 (NKJV)

² The people who walked in darkness

Have seen a great light;

Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,

Upon them a light has shined.

Malachi 4:2 (NKJV)

² But to you who fear My name

The Sun of Righteousness shall arise

With healing in His wings;

And you shall go out

And grow fat like stall-fed calves.
