God bless you this morning and every morning. Thank you Lord for Waking me up this morning. There is more for me to do.
Jesus spoke in settings that were not always safe. Jesus would always run the risk of people speaking up and disrupting his speech. Jesus teaches us to speak the truth, no matter the controversy. The truth allows us to reveal things about ourselves that others use to judge us or that we use to judge ourselves. Our enemies judge us by the message of the day. They strike at our insecurities and then we doubt, and we are back peddling trying to discredit them or saying stuff like no I’m not, you are. Stand in our truth. Know what God has revealed to us. Jesus is the light of the world. Pray for peace in our city My Love. I’m off to work now, Macys is my go to in times of trouble. 4-5 hours a day to put something in my pocket. Thank you God for looking out for me. I love you.
John 8:12-19
Dispute Over Jesus’ Testimony
12 When 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.”
13 The Pharisees challenged him, “Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid.”
14 Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going. 15 You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one. 16 But if I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me. 17 In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true. 18 I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.”
19 Then they asked him, “Where is your father?”
“You do not know me or my Father,” Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
