In the beginning of Chapter 8, some Bible scholars were testing Jesus by bringing to Him an adultery case. They challenged the Lord, Moses commanded us to stone such woman. What then do you say? (cf. John 8:1-5)
The Lord's answer was divinely marvelous: He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her. (v7)
When they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the older ones. (v9)
This is Jesus. He is the light of the world. He enlightens us and exposes our real condition. As we open ourselves to Him, we shall receive inward shining and healing. Those who follow Jesus shall by no means walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (v12)
Open yourself to Jesus by telling Him: Lord, I am a sinner, but You are the light of the world. I need you. Shine upon me and enlighten me. O Lord Jesus, help me follow You and receive the light of life. Amen.
