Day 9

John 8.

A woman caught in adultery is brought to Jesus.  We see a story of grace, but also of Truth. 

Jesus showed mercy to this woman, but at the same time called her to repentance from sin.

… “neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” (John 8:11 NIV)

Is there perhaps something in your life that you need to leave behind, like the woman had to leave her life of sin?

“Then Jesus spoke again to the people he said, “I am the light of the world.  Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”” (John 8:12 NIV)

“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.” (Matthew 5:14 NIV)

As Christ followers we should be light bearers to the world, but to do that we must first understand it and live it ourselves.  We must understand that our association with Christ affects how we engage life.

What do you think it means to be a light bearer to the world?

What would living like a light bearer to the world look like for you?
