“When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”(John 8: 10-12, King James Version [KJV]).

Greetings in the Holy Name of Jesus Yahshuah,

My sisters and brothers, life is as much of a struggle for us all when we consciously decide to clearly face the darkness of the world and fail to embrace God’s love through Jesus, the light of the world (John 8: 11, King James Version [KJV], “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”; John 9: 5, KJV, “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”; What do light symbolize?

Across cultures, light is an ancient symbol of understanding and intellectual thought: it is the opposite of ignorance, or darkness. Almost universally, the dark is considered to be frightening and sinister, associated with things we cannot understand. Light is said to conquer darkness and to bring order out of chaos.

Of course, running your course, at first thought seemingly is impossible to achieve or do the greater things that Jesus spoke of, simply because we are sinners and our sins weigh us down in feelings of guilt, causing us to lose faith as our doubts chip away at our faith so much until we find ourselves in the darkness of the world, away from the light, Jesus. We must keep our eyes on the prize, which is Christ Jesus.[“What does it mean to live in the light of Christ?

Only when do not Love Darkness Can We Hope to Live in the Light. What does it mean to live in the light? The Apostle John said the wrath of God was coming not just because of sin, but because men 'loved' darkness. ... Live in the light! It means more than reading a Bible and going to Church.Jul 15, 2015

Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”; Philippians 3: 13-14, KJV, “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” “Psalm 119

The Message 119 (MSG)

1-8 You’re blessed when you stay on course,

    walking steadily on the road revealed by God.

You’re blessed when you follow his directions,

    doing your best to find him.

That’s right—you don’t go off on your own;

    you walk straight along the road he set.

You, God, prescribed the right way to live;

    now you expect us to live it.

Oh, that my steps might be steady,

    keeping to the course you set;

Then I’d never have any regrets

    in comparing my life with your counsel.

I thank you for speaking straight from your heart;

    I learn the pattern of your righteous ways.

I’m going to do what you tell me to do;

    don’t ever walk off and leave me.

9-16 

How can a young person live a clean life?

    By carefully reading the map of your Word.

I’m single-minded in pursuit of you;

    don’t let me miss the road signs you’ve posted.

I’ve banked your promises in the vault of my heart

    so I won’t sin myself bankrupt.

Be blessed, God;

    train me in your ways of wise living.

I’ll transfer to my lips

    all the counsel that comes from your mouth;

I delight far more in what you tell me about living

    than in gathering a pile of riches.

I ponder every morsel of wisdom from you,

    I attentively watch how you’ve done it.

I relish everything you’ve told me of life,

    I won’t forget a word of it.

* * *

17-24 

Be generous with me and I’ll live a full life;

    not for a minute will I take my eyes off your road.

Open my eyes so I can see

    what you show me of your miracle-wonders.
