Christ’s Light Set You Free
Backgrounder on John 6-8:
Early in His ministry, Christ issues
a challenge: Search the scriptures
for they testify of me (Jn 5:39).
Now His public declarations and
miraculous demonstrations serve
to confirm what the OT said of Him.
Using Jewish feast days as public
forum, Jesus declares Himself
to be the Bread of Life (6:35),
the Forgiver of Sins (8:11) and
the Light of the World (8:12).
Lord, Your Light Sets Us Free:
Jesus said: I am the Light of
the world. If you Follow me,
you won’t have to walk in darkness
because you will have the Light
that leads to life (Jn 8:12).
To the Jews who had believed
Him, Jesus said: If you Hold
to my teaching, you are really
my disciples. Then you will
know the truth, and the truth will
set you Free (Jn 8:31-32). Amen.
Father, thank You for sending
Your Light in Jesus; for Lighting
up our dark places and every
difficult situation we may face.
For whilst God has not promised
joy without sorrow or peace
without pain; He has promised
us strength for the day, rest for
the labour and Light for the way.
Grant that we will be bearers of
Yr Light & bring encouragement &
hope to those who needs U. Amen
Lord, thank U for being the Light
for we live in a dark world & there
are so many confusing voices.
Help me to not merely walk
or live in the light of Your truth,
but rather to Follow You the Light.
For I don’t want to rely on living
by methods but by knowing You.
So Jesus, help me to recognise
Your Light. Fill me with the truth &
guide my steps. And teach me live
by the light of Yr Presence. Amen
Lord Jesus, this is an amazing
truth that I am truly Free in You.
Free from not only sin’s grave
penalty and terrible power but
also free from guilt and shame.
I am free not to live as I want,
but free to live as You desire; for
You have set us free to obey You.
Teach me to believe the paradox
that I am most free when I am
living as Yr servant. And help me
better understand Yr grace. Amen
