Bible Lesson: Conversations With Jesus: The Light Of The World, Jesus Christ.

Bible Text:

John 8:12-30 KJV

Bible Topic:

John 8:12-30 KJV

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am The Light Of The World: he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have The Light Of Life.

13 The Pharisees therefore said unto Him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.

14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of Myself, yet My record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

16 And yet if I judge, My judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and The Father that sent Me.

17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

18 I am one that bear witness of Myself, and The Father that sent Me beareth witness of Me.

19 Then said they unto Him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know Me, nor My Father: if ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also.

20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as He taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on Him; for His hour was not yet come.

21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go My way, and ye shall seek Me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

22 Then said the Jews, Will He kill Himself? because He saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

23 And He said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins.

25 Then said they unto Him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but He that sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of Him.

27 They understood not that He spake to them of The Father.

28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up The Son Of Man, then shall ye know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father hath taught Me, I speak these things.

29 And He that sent Me is with Me: The Father hath not left Me alone; for I do always those things that please Him.

30 As He spake these words, many believed on Him.

20 Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for The Lord shall be thine Everlasting Light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.

15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And He said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

First Church Of Spiritual Darkness

Matthew 7:21-23 KJV

21 Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

The Remedy For Darkness:

John 3:16-21 KJV

16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting Life.

17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.

18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of The Only Begotten Son Of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth The Light, neither cometh to The Light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth Truth cometh to The Light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

The Light Of The World Is Jesus

The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin,
