#soap # John 08 ## Title: The Light of the World ## Scripture: (John 8:12) Then Jesus spoke out again, “I am the light of the world! The one who follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” (NET) ## Observation: Have you ever been at home when the power went out? It is amazing how quickly it changes your plans. You can almost forget where everything is and have to start feeling around so you don’t trip. Then, after finally getting used to the darkness, the power comes back on. Everything becomes clear again. One moment you were coping with the darkness and the next moment you can see clearly. This is what happens when Jesus comes into our lives. We go from being blind due to the darkness, to being able to see. We see God’s plan for us in salvation. We see God’s love. We are no longer lost and alone in the dark. We can finally see. ## Application: Take a moment and think about the plan of salvation. You were once lost, but now you are found. You were once in spiritual darkness, but now you can see. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for bringing Your light into our lives so we could see.
