Do you know Jesus?
John 8:12-47 details an enlightening, profoundly engaging dialogue between Jesus on one hand and the Pharisees and people on another, on Jesus being the Light of the world, unbelief, spiritual freedom, Abraham, and eternal life.
Christ spoke with authority from His Father. The people were confounded. They thought he was mad, divided opinion, demon-possessed, and up to making ridiculous false claims. This is the same thing some people of today think of those who preach Christ but we will not be perturbed by false notions.
Jesus came not to divide opinion but to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10). He is the Light of this world. His Light cuts through darkness and leads to life (John 8:12). Unlike the devil, Christ is true and willing to help all who faithfully come to Him.
To all who knew, understood, believed, and received Jesus, He gave them the right to be sons of God (John 1:12). Do you know Jesus? Do you have Him as your Lord and saviour? You have the chance to accept Christ now and forever live for Him. Do that today.
