There are three words which can describe the Lord Jesus: “Life,” “Light” and “Love.” In these chapters, “water” or “life” is mentioned — a picture of “Life” (see John 4:10; 7:3810Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. (John 4:10)
38He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (John 7:38)). In John 8 to end of 12, it is “Light.” Then in John 13-21, it is surely “Love.” Today we will notice “Light.”
V.1-11 These religious leaders still try to cause Jesus to make a mistake so they might accuse Him of going against the Scriptures. First of all, they were breaking the law themselves. For in Leviticus 20:1010And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. (Leviticus 20:10) it clearly says that both the man and the woman were to be punished. But they bring only the woman. Jesus brings their own sins to mind. He wrote on the ground, giving their conscience time to work. With guilty conscience in the presence of God, they left one by one. They could not stand the “Light.” And the Lord told the woman to go and sin no more. The Light shows how bad we are, but the blood of the Lord Jesus cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:77But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)).
V.12-32 What is the Lord Jesus in verse 12?
V.13-19 The Pharisees said that one witness was not enough. But God also was His witness. So there were two, but still they would not change, nor believe.
V.21-32 Some of the most helpful verses in all scripture to see the importance of knowing who Jesus is. Read them carefully particularly verse 24.
