“Confrontation!” (pt. 2) John 8:13-20
In our return to the Gospel of John we have been asking the question, “Who is Jesus?” John 8:12 says he is the light of the world. Today we see that Jesus is one who is not afraid to confront. In our text we find seven principles that can guide us when we need to confront:

C. People who need to be confronted are people who have been
deceived, either by __________ or by the _________ around them.
