Reading Path 1: NT and Psalms
In John 7-8, Jesus teaches at the Feast of Tabernacles, proclaiming himself the source of living water and light of the world. Facing skepticism and hostility, he forgives the adulterous woman and debates the Pharisees. These chapters highlight Jesus’ divine authority, growing opposition, and his call to truth and righteousness.
Light of the World. In John 8:12, Jesus declares himself the light of the world on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, when massive lampstands lit the temple. Following his bread of life claim in chapter 6, this reveals him as not only the sustainer, but the divine source of guidance and truth. We must follow his light, living righteously to reflect God’s glory amidst darkness.
