The Light of the world

​S-John 12:44-47 NIV

44 Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. 45 The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

47 “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.
O- Jesus is speaking to the Pharisee's who came to see about Jesus.  They saw the many signs and miracles and heard His teaching and yet were afraid to believe because they might get kicked out of their synagogues.  Jesus warns them that whoever believes in him believes in God who had sent him.  He proclaims to be the light of the world, and whoever believes in Him will stay in the light. 
A - The application for me is to put my faith in Jesus, who came to save the lost and bring light into the world.   I must believe Jesus was fully man and fully God.  He can emphathize with me and my struggle as he was fully man.  His spirit and his actions show He is fully God for everything He said and did was to glorify the father and reconcile the lost.  
P -Dear heavenly Father, thank you for today's devotion may it be sealed to my heart.  I pray Lord you help me to fully believe in the Truth of who you are.   I pray that you help me overcome whatever doubts remain in me that prevents me from believing in all that you are.  I pray all this in Jesus Christ name, Amen
