Jesus now proceeded to make fuller revelation of himself in that he was the true Light. The Feast' of Tabernai les provided the heat plate fit this, hi* great eofifeaelon to the world V. 12. 'Then spake Jesus again to them, saying. I am the light of 'lie world; in- that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of light.

Christ a sufficient light to sll men The true light comes to him who follows Christ To each one is given enough light to take the first step. V. 13. "The Pharisees therefore -ai l unto him Thou bearest record of thyself; they record is not true."

Jews which believed on him. If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples.” Making Chr%t's etchings continually tile practical rule* of life is a test of discipleship. V 32. "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you f »-e" "Through c ontinuing in Christ's words they would come to an adequate knowledge of truth; they would then be free from every thing that would interfere with a victorious Christian life Vs 33.34. "They answered him. We iie Abraham's seed and were j never in bondage: how saest thou. Ye shall be free? Jesus answered ’them. Verily, verily, I say unto you. Whosoever commilteth sin la the servant of sin." The sinner is a , slave In that he is unable of him--elf to break the power of sin and lift his life to a really spiritual plane of living. V 35. "The servank abideth not in tiie house forever: but the soli abideth forever." 4 son abides in a household but the slave me not a uiemJier of the family and may be sold or sent away V. 36 "If the Son therefor shall make ye free, ye shall be free Indeed."

Vs 1.2 And as Jesu* passed by. he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his dUciples asked him. saying. Master, who did sin this man. or his parents, that he was Itorn blind?"

The remark I* often heard. Why must a clear one suffer so? See the answer In the nec verse. V. 3 "Jesus answered Neither hath till* man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should lie made manifest in him." To those headed in a right direction suffering under grace I* a spiritual force which cinder God moves the sufferer on his journey heavenward; in this procew God is manifest.
