Daily Bible Reading – September 2022: "God’s Renewing Word of Wisdom"Sample

September 10 Introduction The religious leaders bring to Jesus a woman caught in adultery and seek to test him by asking for his judgment in the matter. Jesus once again confounds them with his response. Jesus declares that he is “the light of the world.” Scripture Reading John 8:1-20 Today’s Key Verse: John 8:12b “I am the light of the world,” [Jesus] said. “Whoever follows me will have the light of life and will never walk in darkness.” Reflect The Law of Moses required that, in matters of adultery, two witnesses were needed (Deuteronomy 17:6; 19:15). Thus, the Pharisees were in violation of the legal requirements in not presenting witnesses. What is your reaction to how Jesus handled the matter? What did he say to the woman? How did Jesus respond to the Pharisees when they asked him about his father (verse 19)? Pray Lord Jesus, you are the light of the world. Teach me to live in the light of your love. Thank you for your love and mercy and for the chance to live a new life in you. Amen. Tomorrow’s Reading John 8:21-30: The religious authorities continue to challenge Jesus.
