(Luke 2:9-11) (NIV) An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, \u201cDo not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.


Title: You


(John 8:12) (NLT) Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, \u201cI am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won\u2019t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.\u201d



(Acts 26:17-18) (NLT) Yes, I am sending you to the Gentiles to open their eyes, so they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. Then they will receive forgiveness for their sins and be given a place among God\u2019s people, who are set apart by faith in me.

The Law, The Love, The Light.


1.\xa0 The law reveals our guilt.


(John 8:1-3) (NLT) Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd.


(John 8:4-5) (NLT) \u201cTeacher,\u201d they said to Jesus, \u201cthis woman was caught in the act of adultery.\xa0 The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?\u201d

Until we see ourselves as sinners we will not see our need for a Savior.


2. His love reveals His grace.


(John 8:6)(NLT) They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger.


(John 8:7)(NLT) They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, \u201cAll right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!\u201d


(John 8:9)(NLT) When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman.


(John 8:10)(NLT) Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, \u201cWhere are your accusers? Didn\u2019t even one of them condemn you?\u201d


(John 8:11)(NIV) \u201cNo one, sir,\u201d she said. \u201cThen neither do I condemn you,\u201d Jesus declared.
