The journey continues today through John 8:12-30 as Jesus say’s that whoever follows Him will have the light of life (v. 12). Light shines so that the path is clear, and we can start our day stepping ahead as we follow the light of the world. We will be listening to His instructions to gain knowledge, obtain holiness, and receive joy in our soul.

The Pharisees said the testimony of Jesus was not valid but Jesus explains that it was valid by the Law of Moses which said that the testimony of two witnesses is true. Jesus explains that He fulfills the law’s requirement for proof of truth because He testifies for himself and the Father testifies as the other witness (v. 18).

Jesus goes on to explain that the Father is with Him and He speaks and acts upon what the Father has taught Him (v. 28). We start this day with God, striving to follow Jesus on this journey by speaking and acting to please the Father. We start this day on the right path by first going to God in prayer and listening to the voice of Truth. This voice will remove any roadblocks and lay out a level path so the advantage will then belong to us as we are guided to an everlasting victorious finish.

This Day with You God, we are thankful for Jesus. The Light of life who reveals the Word, connects Holy Spirit to us, and instructs us how to step ahead each day. We follow the Light with joy in our soul and peace in knowing there is everlasting life in Jesus’ name, amen.
