This simple passage contains a profound truth within its five short verses. The statement is one of power that every Christian needs to understand. It involves our faith, our obedience, and our love.

Jesus had several times during His public ministry that were prolonged and busy. The passage we will study brings us to the conclusion of one of those busy times. Yet, in a time of prolonged activity, we still find Jesus in absolute control in displaying both His humanity and His divinity.

Understanding the love of God is pivotal for His followers. To fail to possess God’s love means we cannot love as God loves. To possess God’s love means the world around us can see His transformative power. Be challenged as we study this passage to look and act more like God, who loves us.

Jesus Christ gave many parables concerning our task of being evangelistic to the world around us. We are called to be light, properly reflecting His grace to a dark and sinful world.

It doesn’t matter what the world thinks of you. It matters what the world thinks of Christ. Is this a statement that you can identify with and live out? This passage will challenge us about our identity and where it is placed.

The story of the sinful woman and her repentance offers us both encouragement and condemnation. However, this account should leave us longing for a deeper relationship with Christ. Enjoy this study as we relate it to our own lives, answering the question, “How does your love for God and others reveal how much you have been forgiven?"

Jesus is the light of the world. The world is dark and full of sin, but Jesus Christ came into the world to remove people from darkness and give them a new life. However, what will we do with our new life? Will we share the light?
