The Darkness That is in the World

Text: John 8:12

THE DARKNESS THAT IS IN THE WORLD

Isaiah described the land of Galilee as one filled with darkness (Isaiah 9:1-2). But darkness was not confined to just the region of Galilee. It was found everywhere, including Jerusalem, the so-called spiritual capital of Judea.

It was darkness that caused the religious leaders to drag a woman to Jesus, and demanding a response from Him! Darkness was everywhere, sin was allowed to reign!

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

What is the answer to sin’s darkness? Jesus spoke plainly and earnestly to all who would listen.

“Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.’”

John 8:12

1. “Then Jesus spoke to them again”

a. There were on-lookers and there were His disciples too.
b. These may have gathered to see what would happen when the Jews confronted Jesus.
c. They had seen the religious leaders walk away in quiet shame.
d. They had seen how the Lord Jesus spoke with compassion to the woman.

2. “I am the light of the world”

a. Jesus could not be drawn into the darkness of the world and of the Jews.
b. The darkness was immediately dispelled when it came into contact with the Light.
c. Light will always prevail over darkness.

3. “He who follows Me”

a. This was a word of great encouragement.
b. This was also a word of invitation to all who heard Him.
c. The challenge to follow Jesus is truly heart-warming and uplifting.

4. “Shall not walk in darkness”

a. Sin is often symbolised by darkness.
b. He who follows Jesus closely need not walk in the darkness of sin.
c. What a wonderful promise that we can walk in the light than walk in darkness!

5. “But have the light of life”

a. Jesus is the Light of the world.
b. He is also the Giver of light.

And the light He gives will last us a life-time, preventing darkness that threatens to engulf.

经文：约翰福音 8：12

世上的黑暗

以赛亚描述加利利一地充满了黑暗《以赛亚书 9：1-2》。但是黑暗不只是局限在加利利地区。每个地方都如此，包括耶路撒冷，所谓犹太属灵的首都。

这黑暗促使宗教领袖把一妇人拖到耶稣前，要求祂给一个答复！到处都充满了黑暗，罪恶被允许掌管一切！。

世界的光

什么是罪恶的黑暗的答案？耶稣明明白白和恳切地告知所有听从祂的人

“耶稣又对众人说：‘我是世界的光。跟从我的，就不在黑暗里走，必要得着生命的光。’”

《约翰福音 8：12》

1. “耶稣又对众人说”

a. 那里有观看的人和祂的门徒们
b. 他们可能是为了观看犹太人对质耶稣会发生什么事而聚集
c. 他们看见了宗教领袖羞愧悄悄地离开
d. 他们也看见了耶稣怎么怜悯地跟妇人说话

2. “我是世界的光”

a. 耶稣不会被捲入世界和犹太人的黑暗里
b. 黑暗一接触到光就会立刻被驱散
c. 光永远会战胜黑暗

3. “跟从我的”

a. 这是一句充满极大鼔励的话
b. 也是一句邀请所有听祂的话的人
c. 接受挑战去跟从耶稣的确是温韾和振奋的

4．“就不在黑暗里走”

a. 黑暗常常用来代表罪恶
b. 那紧紧跟从耶穌的人不须在黑暗里行走
c. 我们能够不在黑暗里走而在光里行走的应许是多么的美好！

5．“必要得着生命的光”

a. 耶稣是世界的光
b. 祂也是光的赐予者

祂给的光会延续一辈子，防止黑暗的威胁和吞噬。
