Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12 KJV)
The men had been about to stone a woman they accused of being an adulteress; but, Jesus stopped them. He told them that the one without sin should cast the first stone. No stones were thrown. Not a one of them could condemn her. He gives relief to the woman saying that neither does he condemn her. She is free to go and sin no more. She is free from her sins to live in the light of Christ.
It would behoove us all to welcome this freedom from sin; this absolution, and to live in the light of Christ. As humans we tend to strive to keep our sins hidden and so we end up living in the darkness. The darkness is a nothing more than a prison. It keeps us enslaved. But by living in the light of Christ we are free to live an abundant life now and in the age to come.
Live life! Follow the light of life who is Jesus the Christ the one who loves you and died that you might be absolved of all of your sins so that you can truly live life!
God's Peace - Pr. J.
