Gospel of John - John 8.12-30

Jobey McGinty

Both the moon and the sun are sources of light for us, but only the sun has light in itself. The moon is merely a reflection of the sun. Jesus is the light of the world. Any light we have (character, goodness, purity) is given by Him, and darkness in our hearts and minds can only be done away with if we draw closer to the true light. And as that light shines brighter, it is like a dimmer switch being turned up in our hearts. We see more dirt and dust than we knew was there, but this helps us to first see what is lurking, but then also know how to fight any abiding sin. But this can only be done by coming to the light of the world.
