John 8 WHAT SAYEST THOU? v.11. GO AND SIN NO MORE There was no doubt about it The witnesses were there to see – Questions that rose about her Were tricks to hear what He would say. The One who knows inner hearts
Speaks to their consciences’ voice – He who was able to forgive - Gave to each one there a choice.
v.12. HAVE THE LIGHT OF LIFE To “Go and sin no more” – Beings hope to a forgiven soul. To “have the light of life” Is to begin to live fully once more – A life lived in light is freedom From fear when truth sets one free. And He who said these words Tells us that He gives freedom indeed.
v.31. CONTINUE IN MY WORD We are not called to live without guidance His written Word is placed in our hand. And when applied to life daily Empowers one and enables to stand Against the conflicts of life And the challenges that come from within – So not walking with eyes looking backward We press on to life’s ultimate end.
v.36. YE SHALL BE FREE INDEED What the Lord says is really all that matters Although others have a right to be heard. The difference is they aren’t like me, And He has the ultimate word. For no matter what all of us say The Lord Jesus alone has the right To expect me to obey every statement And can tell me that is “The Light of life.”
“The freedom from guilt even though one has sinned, is truly only something Thou art able to give, Father. I know sin has to be confessed and forsaken but such grace as to be fully restored to fellowship with Thee is a great blessing – and relief and I thank Thee for this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
