John 8:13-30
Inspired by the Holy Spirit, John designed his account of Christ's life so that 3 wilderness pictures of Jesus are presented in sequential order in chapters 6, 7, and 8. In chapter 6, manna was given as a picture of the Lord, the True Bread of Life Who came down from Heaven. In chapter 7, the water from the rock in Horeb was given as a picture of the Living Water (the Spirit), Who only Christ, the Rock can offer. In chapter 8, the pillar of cloud by day and fire by night which led Israel in the wilderness is used to present a picture of the True Light of the world, the Lord Jesus - the Shekinah Glory veiled in Human flesh.
Jesus made a claim to Messiahship and Deity when He said He is the Light of the world. The Jews were set on disproving His claim publicly. The Law said a person's word of testimony with regard to himself was not acceptable in a judicial court unless other witnesses substantiated it. This latest challenge and the Lord's response to it for the subject for this second half of a two-part study on "The Light of the World".
We discuss "The Lord's Witness" (8:13-16), "The Law's Witness" (8:17-20), "The Lord's Way" (8:21-24), and "The Lord's Word" (8:25-30).
Another prediction of His upcoming crucifixion is found in John 8:28, which literally reads, "When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I AM" (the pronoun "He" is not in the original manuscript)!! Another powerful lesson regarding the Person of Jesus Christ, the Lord!
