Reflection & Discussion

Warm-up. What great songs are on your playlist?

Read: John 8:12-20. Ask God to bless your study.

1. What is the overall context of John 8:12? How does the setting of the Jewish feast of tabernacles enhance what Jesus says about himself?

2. The theme of light was familiar to Jewish people. Have a look at Psalm 27:1; 76:4; 104:2; Zechariah 14:6-8; Isaiah 60:1-3, 19-20. Why is light such an appropriate image?

3. Explore and discuss what Jesus means when he calls himself “the light of the world” (John 8:12; see also 9:4-5, 39)?

4. What are some examples of "darkness" in the world, and how can Jesus' light help us overcome it?

5. How has Jesus been a light in your own life? How does the light of the gospel help make sense of your world?

6. Where in your life do you need to live more in the light?

7. How can you reflect Jesus’ light in the world around you?
