John 8:12-20
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows
me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”
Then the Pharisees said to him, “You are testifying on your own behalf; your testimony is not valid.” Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid
because I know where I have come from and where I am going, but you do not
know where I come from or where I am going. You judge by human standards; I
judge no one. Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is valid; for it is not I alone
who judge, but I and the Father who sent me. In your law it is written that the
testimony of two witnesses is valid. I testify on my own behalf, and the Father
who sent me testifies on my behalf.” Then they said to him, “Where is your
Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me,
you would know my Father also.” He spoke these words while he was teaching in
the treasury of the temple, but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet
come.

DG Comment: Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows
me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” What a positive way to begin the day. When we follow Jesus we do not walk in darkness because we have Jesus in front of us to light our way, lighten our load and give us light that brightens even the darkest corners of our lives.
