“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.”
Light! What a great thing! Every turkey hunter gets excited for the first hint of light for the morning! As you sit still in darkness you will notice the birds began to sing and the forest comes alive. What tops it off is when a big o’l gobblers sounds off for the first time. Things get exciting. As the sun continually rises, you begin to see everything around you and the turkey choir begins to sing! These are very memorable mornings! If you read the first part of John 8 you will read about the woman taken in adultery. The scribes and Pharisees bring her to Jesus with hopes of stoning her, but as Jesus begins to write in the sand they begin to disappear one by one. The Bible says they were convicted by their own conscience as they left. We don’t know exactly what Jesus was writing, but it seems it had to do with their own sin. Jesus then forgives this adulteress woman and says to her, “go, and sin no more.” Its important to realize that Jesus did not come to condemn the world. He came to save it. John 1:9-10 “That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and world knew him not.” The Light is talking of Jesus Christ, and the Bible says He is the only one that can give light in this dark world we live in. Why would you want to sit in the dark all night? Can you imagine waiting for that first turkey to sound, but you never hear one because the sun never came up. In a very short period of time every thing in the world would begin to die off. The sun gives light, but it also gives life! God and Jesus Christ are the same in one. Our Creator God gave us a physical example of what life would be like without the sun, it would be death! One day everyone is going to die! The Bible says that you will go to one of two places: the lake of fire or heaven. Where will you go? If Jesus Christ forgave and adulterous woman, why would He not forgive you? The Bible says that Jesus Christ is the light of the world and He is the only way to have life! He died to forgive you of all your sins! Why would you not except that? He loves you! He paid for it all so you can live forever with Him! Before you can get saved you must admit that your lost. Luke 19:10 “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” There are many people today that call themselves Christians, but yet they have never been lost. It’s not possible to be saved until you realize your lost and bound for a devil’s hell because of sin. Jesus Christ died to pay for your sin! Trust Him today! You must believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ died, was buried, and rose again the third day! Get this; the tomb is empty! He’s not there, He is risen! Salvation is too easy, don’t reject him. John 3:18 “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.” The choice is yours! Will you choose light or darkness? Only you can decide! John 8:12 “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.”
