Hey all, its good to be back and refreshed in the Spirit.
Man, I will admit that I struggled with John 8 for a long time and I don’t claim that I know it all, but I do know that what the Spirit has given, it has shed some light on things.
So quick review, where and when are we in John 8, what’s happened so far?
Great and now, we are coming to the end of the festival of Sukkot and they would light the giant Menorah in the temple at this point, this is why we see Jesus leading in with verse 12
Pray
Josephus on the Menorah - light up all of Jerusalem.
Jesus is saying, well you think that cool, let me tell you about real light.
The light that doesn’t just push back the shadows but the Light that brings life!
The Light
A. The Light of the World
1.
Where does this take your mind?
a. Beginning
b.
God created light and darkness
c.
Had to separate them
i.
Light and darkness are separate
ii.
We walk in one or the other period, we cannot walk in both
2. Light of life
a.
Zeo vs the Bios
b.
Again proving the theology of Spirit vs Physical

ii.
Jesus will address that as well
b.
Jesus obeyed the Law perfectly
i.
He opened no weakness for their argument
ii.
Why they could never find fault in Him
2. But where does this come from?
a.
First it had to due with accusation but they misconstrued it
b.
Funny how the darkness comes after the light, but it cannot over come it
B. Jesus Response
1. Jesus points out the Truth
a. Testify on His behalf because he is God
i. Knows where He comes from
ii.
Knows where He is going
b.
These people speak to only their senses and what they know
i. Remember at this time they have relatively no idea how conception works, in the womb
ii.
They have no idea about death for the most part
c.
Jesus does know
2. He Judges rightly
a.
Not that He won’t judge
i.
But now is not the time
ii.
He came for salvation’s sake
iii.
There is a judgement coming, but it is not now
b.
But His judgement is righteous because he is not alone
i.
The Father is with Him
ii.
Trinitarian doctrine
3. Deeper than that
a. Trying to get them to see the Spiritual

It is going to become evident soon, who He is
c.
He is desperately and gently leading them upward toward the Father
