“Lord's Illuminating Guidance Helps Throughout! (L.I.G.H.T)

Ramesh C. Reddy
Publisher

SCRIPTURE:
"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." (John 8:12, NIV)

Observations:

I asked myself, what claim does Jesus make?
Jesus said, "I AM the Light of the world?"

Observations/Interpretation:
I asked myself what 'If-Then' statement do I see here?
Whoever follow me will never walk in darkness, but will have the Light of life!

Observations/Interpretations
I asked myself what comparison/contrasts do I see here?
Two comparisons and contrasts were found:
1. Light vs Darkness
2. Followers of Jesus vs Followers of self  

I asked myself what connections do I see here?
1. Followers of Jesus will have Light.
2. Followers of self will have darkness.

I asked myself in what context does Jesus claim Himself to be the Light of the world?

I realized Jesus is speaking this verse to the Pharisees and Scribes who originally brought to Jesus a woman accused of adultery. Jesus addresses that situation at hand and now personally addresses them.

Interpretations:
I asked myself why would Jesus refer to Himself as "I AM the light of the world" to the Pharisees and Scribes?

The Pharisees and Scribes purpose in exposing the woman caught in adultery was not to change her but to condemn her to death (rf. John 8:1-11). Jesus on the other hand wanted to change her and wanted the Pharisees and Scribes to realize that it is His Light that changes people living in a world of darkness. It is as if Jesus is saying that 'you are so concerned to condemn the woman caught in adultery' but all of you are in darkness without me in this world. The only way not to walk in the  the darkness of sin is to have the Living Light flood your path so that you have the Light of life. I AM that Light of life being the Light of the world!

It also occurred to me that Jesus is letting the Pharisees and Scribes know that His Light being shined on the 'woman caught in adultery' still exposes her actions but also brings repentance and restoration which is evident by Jesus saying to the woman, "Has no one condemned you, neither do I. Go and sin no more!"  It is important for me to remember that everyone there wanted to condemn her until Jesus said,  'He who has no sin cast the first stone!' After that no one had the courage to condemn her.

More than even that Jesus is addressing their comment of 'The law of Moses says she needs to be stoned to death....' to make the point that He is the 'I AM that I AM' that gave the law to Moses. Since He gave the law, He has every right also to show mercy and grace to those that break the law. But, He would do that by eventually taking the sin of the world upon Himself to redeem all those that would come to Him. What is phenomenal in this is that Jesus is claiming to be God to the Pharisees and Scribes and want them to follow Him so they don't continue to live in darkness because according to Jesus they all are living in darkness.

Being Pharisees and Scribes, they would be well versed in the Books of the Torah given by God to Moses. So they would know that Jehovah addressed Himself as 'I AM that I AM' to Moses. Now Jesus says, 'I AM' but goes a step further to let them know 'I AM the Light of the world!' Here it is not just a pronoun but a claim to be Divinity!

I asked myself what is the function of light and the connection Jesus wanted the Pharisees and Scribes to make as they reflect on Jesus' promise of 'I AM'?
What came to my mind is that light gives visibility, pathway, and direction! This is what Jesus is telling them that He can be in their lives if they follow Him. The connection Jesus wanted them to make is that He is the One that was with Moses helping him to bring deliverance to the Israelites. During the Israelites escape from Egypt, it is the Lord that provided  VISIBILITY, PATHWAY, and DIRECTION which played a crucial role for the Israelites deliverance.

Guess in the form of what?

The Lord intervened in a pillar of fire to give them visibility, pathway, and direction so they can have light in the night to travel. This is evidenced by a verse in the Torah that the Pharisees and Scribes should have known:

"By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so they could travel by day or night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left its place in front of the people."(Exodus 13:21-22, NIV)


The Lord was ahead of them and all they needed to do was to follow Him. If they followed, they would have visibility, pathway, or direction. If they did not follow, they would have continued to be lost in the darkness. If that continued, they would have become prisoners again to Pharaoh because they chose the darkness over the light being trapped without visibility, pathway, and direction.

Now Jesus is making a profound statement to them by claiming, "I AM the Light of the world."

They have a choice to follow Jesus and experience the light of life or continue to follow their own ways and eventually find themselves in the darkness of death.

Implications:
I asked myself what are the implications for my own life?
Just as God revealed Himself to the Israelites as 
"I AM" and later went ahead of them to give them light so they can be delivered from the bondage of slavery from the Egyptians as long as they followed Him, Jesus has revealed Himself to me as "I AM" + the "Light of the world"
 revealing His characteristics of divinity to me asking me to follow Him.

As long as I follow Jesus in this world, walking before Him, I will have visibility, pathway, and direction, for He will be leading me in His Light. This means I will not me stuck walking in the darkness, becoming a prisoner to the bondage of sin.  

Yesterday in our Transformers small group Bible study led by Chloe, all of us: Pastor Hugo, Mike, Joel, AnnMarie, Daniel, ChenXi, her friend, and Ray had a good discussion on light vs. darkness as we looked at Ephesians 4:17-32 - 5:1-20 specifically when we focused on, "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth and find out what pleases the Lord.  Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible--and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said: 'Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you!' (Ephesians 5:8-14, NIV)

Majority of the time sin manifests itself in the darkness but Light exposes it. 
AnnMarie shared an experience of how her classmates would look at the answers for their lab on the teachers desk but when they asked her to do it, she would not because of her faith in Christ Jesus. By her Living in the Light, she exposed their deeds of darkness by standing out as a beacon of light. They were convicted of their actions.

Pastor Hugo shared his experience at a gas station where the attendant was very rude with his comments and even asked, 'what the * do you want?' As a customer Pastor Hugo could have had every right to expose this unacceptable customer service to the manager but instead he showed the love of Christ to this attendant by getting him a mini-care package. This showed the love of Christ to the attendant and how walking in the Light looks like practically compared to walking in the darkness. Light always touches the darkness and makes the darkness visible. Living for Christ illuminated Pastor Hugo's life and then Pastor Hugo shined the light of Christ on the attendant.

I shared about how quickly I love to expose deeds of darkness especially when it has to do with hot button issues like abortion and homosexuality through my writings as a columnist. Reflecting on what Pastor Hugo shared, what AnnMarie shared, and how Jesus handled the woman caught in adultery, I realized how quick I am to judge like the Pharisees and Scribes. Forgive me Jesus.

Exposing wrongdoing is biblical but only when it is done with a loving spirit. Sadly, I have not always done it with a loving spirit but a critical condemning spirit. This is not the way of Living in the Light. Yesterday's Bible study and today's Quiet Times with the Lord convicted me of that. Thank you Jesus. The woman caught in adultery knew she was wrong but instead of feeling condemned by Jesus, she felt loved by Jesus and could have taken to heart: 'Has no one condemned you, neither do I, go and sin no more!'

I love the prayer song, 'Jesus friend of sinners' by Casting Crowns because it portrays what it really means to love others especially when they are in the darkness of sin. Tears came to my eyes when I listened to this song especially the part that mentioned the 'woman caught in adultery's experience with the Pharisees, Scribes, and Jesus. I saw myself as the Pharisee and Scribe in the song. Forgive me Jesus.

Love the sinner and hate the sin should be lived out by me by my actions of Living in the Light. Living in the Light means following Jesus, the Light of the world who alone can give the Light of life. In love when sin is exposed, the result is usually drawing closer to Christ than being shunned away from Christ.

That has been my experience growing up with my mommy. When my mommy exposed my wrongdoing in love, I would always feel convicted instead of condemned because she would always do it with the love of the Lord walking in the Light of Christ. She did that with all of us.

When I think about my years in different aspects of ministry and how I have failed in certain areas, I am reminded of the love of Christ that Pastor Hugo continued to show me instead of ever making me feel condemned. Instead, I would feel convicted. This is because of the love of Christ and living in the Light that Pastor Hugo shows. I can know my wrong and be convicted of it instead of being condemned. This starts with always tempering exposing our wrongs with love. My mommy has done that through our upbringing and Pastor Hugo continues to do that. Edwin would also do that for me who mentored me for more than 2 years.

I am especially touched by my loving wife Chandraleela on how much she loves me. The more I am stubborn, the more she loves me especially when I fail. It is again Living in the Light of Christ. I want to be able to do that. My prayer request was that I could love my wife at least half as much as she loves me. I feel my words say I love her more than my actions but Living in the Light starts with action.

My favorite example was given by Pastor Hugo about a husband and wife couple. A wife would always argue with her husband making her life miserable and his life miserable. She always clung to her own rights and what she deserved. But one day she became a follower of Christ. When her husband came home, no matter how mean he was, she would always love him deeply by all the things she did for him. Now this husband could not understand his wife's love for him b/c the more meaner he was, the more loving she became. Then, he came to find out that she became a follower of Christ and how Christ changed her life bringing her out of darkness and into the Light. Now he wanted that too and gave his life to Christ. After that he asked her parents for forgiveness for being such a bad husband. Later, her parents became a follower of Christ because of their changed lives. She could have exposed her husband's meanness in divorce court, etc as the world would have done but instead she loved deeply and changed the heart of her husband and family. The answer is following Jesus Christ, the Light of the world. I want to love deeply as Jesus loves me! Help me Jesus!

As the stars light up the sky they become really bright as you draw closer to them. The closer you draw near to them, they shine more. Yet, far away too you can see their radiance. In the same way, as people inspect my life closely, I want them to see that I shine brightly as a light because I choose to live for Jesus, the Light of the World who gives the light of life. Thank you Jesus!

Even far away if people hear about me what I want them to know is it is Jesus that lights up my life as I seek Him daily for visibility, pathway, and direction. More than anyone, I want my loving wife and daughter to see my life through the eyes of living for Jesus.

As I live for Jesus, I  want to use that opportunity to help others  know about Jesus Christ so they can experience the Light of life in their own lives when they come to know Him as their own Lord and Personal Savior!

Light covers over the darkness and helps people find the right pathway. Jesus can be that Light for you too friend.

It is the Light of Christ that has held my loving wife Chandra and my marriage together for 2 years 8 months and 1 week as we celebrated that yesterday. It is the Light of the world that can work in our lives daily giving us visibility, pathway, and direction for our life. Thank you Jesus.

I ask you now dear friend, how can the Light impact your life?
Dear friend, wherever you are, Christ wants to infuse you with His Light of radiance because He loves you so much. Because of His deep love for you, He wants to be the Light of your world giving you visibility, pathway, and direction for your life but that cannot happen until you yield your life to the One who loves you deeply.  Yes, He does friend! You can experience that when you turn to the Word of God and allow Jesus to work in and through you by the power of the Holy Spirit taking His promise to heart that says,
"I AM the Light of the world. If you follow me, you won't be stumbling in the darkness but Living Light will flood your path!" Thank you Jesus!

It is His Light that gave Chandra and me visibility, pathway, and direction for our marriage as we reflected on the will of Christ. It is His Light that has brought us through more than 2 1/2 years of marriage and it is His light that will guide us through this century of marriage. It is the Light of Christ that helps us raise  our beautiful 6 month old daughter in the ways of the Lord.

Wherever you need the Light, turn to the One who is the Light. You are never out of His love and never out of His reach. Come as you are and allow His Light to work in you guiding you, leading you, and empowering you to do His will. You never have to walk in spiritual darkness anymore when you have Jesus to transform your life. That is exciting to know! Thank you Jesus!

As you walk these uncertain times, don't walk alone but let the Light of life guide you and lead you for the Light can give you visibility, pathway, and direction. I cannot emphasize this enough!

Don't wait for some other time to come to the Light. Come as you are and give Jesus your life to be the true Light in your life so He can shine upon you. Allow Him to work in you and don't feel you have to take the burden on your own. Jesus is there to take your burden. Yes, He is friend!  Sometimes it happens overnight miraculously and at other times, it is a process but do not give up! The God of the Universe wants to be your Light forever for He is the 'I AM the Light of the world!'. Yes, He is friend! So come as you are and find the Light in your darkness.

For all of us live in darkness without the Light but the Good News is Jesus wants to deliver you from the darkness of the soul to light up your life with His presence. When you walk in His presence giving your life over to Him no matter where you are or where you have been, you will find the visibility, pathway, and direction that has been eluding you. Yes, you will friend for God will be your guide! He is the 'I AM' for you and me. Yes, He is friend!

If the Israelites did not follow the Light that God gave, they would have gone back to be captive to Pharoah. In the same way, if we do not follow the Light of the world, we will be held captive to sin that captivates. Sin will keep us in darkness and only the blood of Christ covering over us can bring us into the Light. So come and receive what Jesus wants to offer you.

Whatever captivity you are facing, you do not have to face it on your own in darkness. You can bring it to the Light and the Light will shine in the darkness and the darkness will not be able to extinguish it. This is exciting to know! Yes, friend so come as you are and be illuminated by Jesus Christ in your life. Wait on Him for He is the Hope of the Nations.

The best thing Satan would want is to discourage you and make you feel that you are not fit to be in the Kingdom of God, but Jesus came for those who are weak and struggle, not for those who think they are righteous.

So hold on to Jesus and you will be holding on to hope! That can happen in your life too friend. Jesus wants to be your Light. He loves you so much and wants to go ahead of you and wants you to follow Him. He wants to deliver you from whatever you are faced with that is making you a prisoner in the darkness. Yes, He does!!! He loves you and offers Himself to you.

Won't you take the only Light that matters?

Allow the Light of Jesus to permeate your life  and allow Him to be in your life for He wants to! He will bring change and transformation in your life. That is exciting to know!

Ask the Lord Jesus to light the fire in your heart. He will friend, yes He will. He loves you so much. No matter what we go through, He is there even through the trials and tribulations. If you don't know Him, come as you are and let Him help you overcome your sins and set you free by His Light. For He waits for you!

If you have come to know Him but allowed the world to consume you, return to the One who loves you deeply and waits for you. The more you fail, the more He loves you. You cannot live righteously apart from the One who imparts righteousness by His grace. If you have hurt others badly by exposing their deeds of darkness for selfish reasons without any ounce of love, confess that before the Lord too and be restored to Him. Now live your life making use of every opportunity He gives you to be a light to those around you, so they can come and want to experience the Light of the world. Jesus will always be your Light and will never leave you or forsake you. So come as you are and let the Light impact your life.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." (John 1:1-5, NIV)

"Lord's Illuminating Guidance Helps Throughout! (L.I.G.H.T)"/'How can the L.I.G.H.T impact your life?'

Make this your prayer if you need Jesus to be the Light in your life:
Jesus, it is so exciting to claim your promise for what you have claimed. You are the Light of the world and if we follow you, we will not walk in the darkness but will have the Light of Life! Thank you Jesus for offering your light to me! Jesus I want to have your Light in my life as you go ahead of me so I can have visibility, pathway, and direction in my life. Help me Jesus. From darkness and the bondage of sin you deliver. Thank you Lord!  I cannot deliver myself without following you for you are the initiator to deliver and I want to follow. So right now, I say I am so sorry for my sins. I repent of my sins and confess of them. Please forgive me and help me to turn from them. Thank you for wanting to be my Light. This means a lot to me. I accept you Jesus into my heart so please make my heart your home. Live in me Jesus and as you help me, I will live for you. Please come in Jesus and Light the darkness of my heart with your blazing light. Light the fire in  my heart and make me whole, purifying me by your Holy Spirit that you promise to dwell in me. Thank you so much Jesus! Now, I can live for you and serve you the rest of the days of my life as I accept your cleansing blood to purify me of all my sin asking you for forgiveness. I acknowledge you Jesus as my Lord and personal Savior. Please be  my Lord and Personal Savior.  Thank you for being my Lord and Personal Savior! Thank you that you have heard my prayers and answered me. Thank you that I belong to you now and you have welcomed me into your Kingdom! In Your Name I Pray Jesus! Amen!

Lord Jesus, You are my all in all. You are my Prince of Peace, Rock, Savior, and Friend. You are my Holy Father guiding me through to live a life of righteousness, Holy righteousness. Oh God, I need you more than ever. I need to feel your hands around me holding me tight. I need your love to surround me so that you can glow in my life. Help me please Jesus. I desire in your presence. Thank you for guiding me to live a life of righteousness. Oh God you love me more than ever. You hear my voice when I cry out to you. When I seek your face, you fill me up. You are my all in all. Thank you Jesus so much for your help no matter what I face, your grace is available and you take my case. Thank you for hearing us and answering us. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! AMEN! (Most of the prayer is from a vineyard song called “All in All”)

May the Lord Jesus guide you in His love leading you! Amen!

No matter what you feel in your heart, know that Jesus has come in and resides with you! You are not alone! To make your walk strong with the Lord, spend time in prayer talking to Him as you would to a friend. You don’t need special words to talk to the Lord. Spend time in His Word reading Psalms and turning them into prayer. Next allow God to heal you and speak to you through the Gospel of John or Gospel of Mark before moving on to other Books of the Bible! Slowly, let the Lord show you to which Scriptures He wants you to go to next. It is also important to be part of a body of believers to help you grow in the faith. Find a Bible believing church that preaches the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation proclaiming Jesus Christ our crucified and risen Lord who brings us hope, healing, and help! But beware of churches where there is no freedom in Christ but legalism involved.

As a professional, it is not too late to join a church! As a student, it is not too late to join a fellowship on campus this year of 2012! May the Lord's presence and peace fill you with His love now and forever! Amen!
