  Reading

  today

  from

  John

  8:12

• 1:02
  from

  the

  You're

  missing
• 1:04
  God
• 1:05
  in
• 1:05
  all
• 1:05
  this.
• 1:06
  Jesus
• 1:07
  once
• 1:07
  again
• 1:07
  addressed
• 1:08
  them,
• 1:08
  I
• 1:09
  am
• 1:09
  the
• 1:09
  world's
• 1:09
  light.
• 1:10
  No
• 1:10
  one
• 1:10
  who
• 1:11
  follows
• 1:11
  me
• 1:11
  stumbles
• 1:12
  around
• 1:12
  in
• 1:12
  the
• 1:12
  darkness.
• 1:13
  I
• 1:13
  provide
• 1:14
  plenty
• 1:14
  of
• 1:14
  light
• 1:14
  to
• 1:15
  live
• 1:15
  in.
• 1:16
  The
• 1:16
  Pharisees
• 1:17
  objected.
• 1:17
  All
• 1:17
  we
• 1:18
  have
• 1:18
  is
• 1:18
  your
• 1:18
  word
• 1:18
  on
• 1:19
  this
• 1:19
  and
• 1:19
  we
• 1:19
  need
• 1:20
  more
• 1:20
  than
• 1:20
  that
• 1:20
  to
• 1:20
  go
• 1:20
  on.
• 1:22
  Jesus
• 1:22
  replied,
• 1:23
  you're
• 1:23
  right
• 1:24
  that
• 1:24
  you
• 1:24
  only
• 1:25
  have
• 1:25
  my
• 1:25
  word,
• 1:26
  but
• 1:27
  you
• 1:27
  can
• 1:27
  depend
• 1:27
  on
• 1:28
  it
• 1:28
  being
• 1:28
  true.
• 1:29
  I
• 1:30
  know
• 1:30
  where
• 1:30
  I
• 1:30
  have
• 1:30
  come
• 1:31
  from
• 1:31
  and
• 1:31
  where
• 1:31
  I
• 1:31
  go
• 1:31
  next.
• 1:32
  You
• 1:33
  don't
• 1:33
  know
• 1:33
  where
• 1:33
  I'm
• 1:33
  from
• 1:34
  and
• 1:34
  where
• 1:34
  I'm
• 1:34
  headed.
• 1:35
  You
• 1:35
  decide
• 1:36
  according
• 1:36
  to
• 1:36
  what
• 1:36
  you
• 1:36
  can
• 1:37
  see
• 1:37
  and
• 1:37
  touch.
• 1:37
  I
• 1:38
  don't
• 1:38
  make
• 1:38
  judgments
• 1:39
  like
• 1:39
  that.
• 1:39
  But
• 1:40
  even
• 1:40
  if
• 1:40
  I
• 1:40
  did,
• 1:40
  my
• 1:41
  judgment
• 1:41
  would
• 1:41
  be
• 1:42
  true
• 1:42
  because
• 1:42
  I
• 1:42
  wouldn't
• 1:43
  make
• 1:43
  it
• 1:43
  out
• 1:43
  of
• 1:43
  the
• 1:43
  narrowness
• 1:44
  of
• 1:44
  my
• 1:44
  experience,
• 1:45
  but
• 1:46
  in
• 1:46
  the
• 1:46
  largeness
• 1:46
  of
• 1:47
  the
• 1:47
  One
• 1:47
  who
• 1:47
  sent
• 1:47
  me,
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  Father
• 1:50
  that
• 1:50
  fulfills
• 1:50
  the
• 1:50
  conditions
• 1:51
  set
• 1:51
  down
• 1:52
  under
• 1:52
  God's
• 1:52
  law
• 1:53
  that
• 1:53
  you
• 1:54
  can
• 1:54
  count
• 1:54
  on
• 1:54
  the
• 1:54
  testimony
• 1:55
  of
• 1:55
  two
• 1:55
  witnesses.
• 1:57
  And
• 1:57
  that
• 1:57
  is
• 1:57
  what
• 1:57
  you
• 1:57
  have.
• 1:58
  You
• 1:59
  have
• 1:59
  my
• 1:59
  word
• 1:59
  and
• 1:59
  you
• 1:59
  have
• 1:59
  the
• 2:00
  word
• 2:00
  of
• 2:00
  the
• 2:00
  Father
• 2:00
  who
• 2:00
  sent
• 2:01
  me.
• 2:01
  They
• 2:01
  said,
• 2:02
  where
• 2:02
  is
• 2:02
  this
• 2:03
  so
• 2:03
  called
• 2:03
  Father
• 2:04
  of
• 2:04
  yours?
• 2:05
  Jesus
• 2:05
  said,
• 2:07
  you're
• 2:07
  looking
• 2:07
  right
• 2:07
  at
• 2:08
  me
• 2:08
  and
• 2:08
  you
• 2:08
  don't
• 2:08
  see
• 2:08
  me.
• 2:09
  How
• 2:09
  do
• 2:10
  you
• 2:10
  expect
• 2:10
  to
• 2:10
  see
• 2:10
  the
• 2:11
  Father?
• 2:11
  If
• 2:11
  you
• 2:11
  knew
• 2:12
  me,
• 2:12
  you
• 2:13
  would
• 2:13
  at
• 2:13
  the
• 2:13
  same
• 2:13
  time
• 2:14
  know
• 2:14
  the
• 2:15
  Father.
• 2:16
  Well,
• 2:16
  that
• 2:18
  closes
• 2:18
  this
• 2:18
  reading
• 2:18
  of
• 2:19
  the
• 2:19
  scripture,
• 2:19
  friends,
• 2:19
  and
• 2:20
  I
• 2:21
  just
• 2:21
  want
• 2:21
  to
• 2:21
  thank
• 2:21
  you
• 2:21
  again
• 2:21
  for
• 2:22
  spending
• 2:22
  some
• 2:22
  time
• 2:23
  with
• 2:23
  with
• 2:23
  me
• 2:24
  here
• 2:24
  in
• 2:24
  the
• 2:24
  Daily
• 2:24
  Bible
• 2:25
  Refresh
• 2:26
  as
• 2:26
  we
• 2:26
  delve
• 2:26
  a
• 2:27
  little
• 2:27
  deeper
• 2:27
  into
• 2:27
  this
• 2:28
  passage
• 2:28
  of
• 2:28
  Scripture.
• 2:29
  John
• 2:29
  8:12
• 2:30
  19
• 2:32
  Jesus
• 2:32
  says,
• 2:32
  I'm
• 2:32
  the
• 2:33
  world's
• 2:33
  light.
• 2:33
  No
• 2:33
  one
• 2:34
  who
• 2:34
  follows
• 2:34
  me
• 2:34
  stumbles
• 2:35
  around
• 2:35
  in
• 2:35
  the
• 2:35
  Darkness.
• 2:35
  But
• 2:36
  the
• 2:36
  leader
• 2:36
  is
• 2:36
  pushed
• 2:36
  back.
• 2:37
  All
• 2:37
  we
• 2:37
  have
• 2:38
  is
• 2:38
  your
• 2:38
  word,
• 2:38
  and
• 2:38
  that's
• 2:39
  just
• 2:39
  not
• 2:39
  good
• 2:39
  enough.
• 2:40
  And
• 2:40
  Jesus
• 2:41
  answers
• 2:41
  that
• 2:41
  his
• 2:41
  witness
• 2:42
  is
• 2:42
  trustworthy
• 2:43
  because
• 2:43
  of
• 2:43
  the
• 2:43
  largeness
• 2:45
  of
• 2:45
  the
• 2:45
  One
• 2:45
  who
• 2:45
  sent
• 2:46
  him,
• 2:46
  not
• 2:46
  the
• 2:46
  narrowness
• 2:47
  of
• 2:47
  self.
• 2:48
  If
• 2:48
  you
• 2:49
  know
• 2:49
  Jesus,
• 2:49
  you'll
• 2:49
  know
• 2:49
  the
• 2:50
  Father.
• 2:50
  And
• 2:50
  God's
• 2:50
  presence
• 2:51
  is
• 2:51
  right
• 2:51
  here,
• 2:51
  even
• 2:51
  when
• 2:52
  we
• 2:52
  miss
• 2:52
  out
• 2:52
  on
• 2:52
  it.
• 2:54
  Some
• 2:54
  powerful,
• 2:55
  Some
• 2:55
  powerful
• 2:55
  information
• 2:56
  here.
• 2:56
  So
• 2:56
  let's
• 2:57
  go
• 2:57
  a
• 2:57
  little
• 2:57
  bit
• 2:57
  deeper
• 2:58
  with
• 2:58
  three
• 2:58
  teaching
• 2:59
  points.
• 2:59
  I
• 2:59
  call
• 2:59
  them
• 3:00
  points
• 3:00
  to
• 3:00
  ponder
• 3:01
  from
• 3:01
  a
• 3:01
  progressive
• 3:02
  perspective.
• 3:03
  The
• 3:03
  first
• 3:04
  is
• 3:04
  light
• 3:04
  is
• 3:04
  liberation,
• 3:05
  not
• 3:05
  a
• 3:05
  spotlight
• 3:06
  of
• 3:06
  shame.
• 3:07
  When
• 3:07
  Jesus
• 3:08
  says
• 3:08
  he's
• 3:09
  the
• 3:09
  world's
• 3:09
  light,
• 3:10
  he
• 3:10
  isn't
• 3:10
  threatening
• 3:11
  exposure
• 3:11
  to
• 3:11
  embarrassed
• 3:12
  people.
• 3:13
  He's
• 3:13
  offering
• 3:14
  clarity
• 3:14
  so
• 3:14
  we
• 3:14
  don't
• 3:15
  keep
• 3:15
  tripping.
• 3:16
  A
• 3:16
  progressive
• 3:17
  reading
• 3:17
  treats
• 3:17
  light
• 3:18
  as
• 3:18
  what
• 3:18
  reduces
• 3:19
  harm.
• 3:20
  Truth
• 3:20
  telling
• 3:21
  that
• 3:21
  heals,
• 3:22
  transparency
• 3:22
  that
• 3:23
  protects
• 3:23
  the
• 3:23
  vulnerable
• 3:24
  and
• 3:24
  pathways
• 3:25
  out
• 3:25
  of
• 3:26
  stigma.
• 3:27
  If
• 3:27
  our
• 3:28
  light
• 3:29
  makes
• 3:29
  people
• 3:29
  hide,
• 3:30
  it's
• 3:30
  not
• 3:30
  Jesus
• 3:31
  kind
• 3:31
  of
• 3:31
  light.
• 3:32
  His
• 3:32
  light
• 3:32
  dignifies
• 3:33
  and
• 3:33
  guides.
• 3:35
  Second
• 3:36
  point,
• 3:37
  we
• 3:37
  judge
• 3:38
  from
• 3:38
  largeness,
• 3:39
  not
• 3:39
  narrowness.
• 3:41
  Jesus
• 3:42
  contrasts
• 3:43
  narrow
• 3:43
  surface
• 3:44
  level
• 3:44
  judgments
• 3:44
  with
• 3:45
  God's
• 3:45
  expansive
• 3:46
  vision.
• 3:48
  Progressive
• 3:48
  discipleship
• 3:49
  resists
• 3:50
  snap
• 3:50
  judgments
• 3:51
  based
• 3:51
  on
• 3:51
  what
• 3:51
  we
• 3:51
  can
• 3:51
  see
• 3:52
  and
• 3:52
  touch.
• 3:53
  Those
• 3:53
  are
• 3:54
  limited
• 3:54
  ways.
• 3:55
  Limited
• 3:55
  ways
• 3:55
  like
• 3:55
  appearances,
• 3:56
  stereotypes,
• 3:57
  class,
• 3:57
  race,
• 3:58
  orientation,
• 4:00
  physical
• 4:00
  health
• 4:01
  and
• 4:01
  illness.
• 4:04
  We
• 4:04
  choose
• 4:05
  trauma,
• 4:05
  informed
• 4:06
  curiosity,
• 4:07
  listen

  let
• 4:10
  marginalized
• 4:11
  voices
• 4:12
  shape
• 4:12
  our
• 4:12
  perspective.
• 4:14
  That's
• 4:14
  how
• 4:14
  we
• 4:15
  move
• 4:15
  from
• 4:15
  small
• 4:15
  reactions
• 4:16
  to
• 4:17
  big
• 4:17
  wisdom.
• 4:20
  Another
• 4:20
  point,
• 4:22
  truth
• 4:22
  needs
• 4:22
  community,
• 4:23
  not
• 4:24
  just
• 4:24
  a
• 4:24
  certainty.
• 4:26
  Jesus
• 4:26
  invoked
• 4:27
  the
• 4:27
  law's
• 4:27
  two
• 4:27
  witnesses,
• 4:28
  I.e.
• 4:28
  his
• 4:29
  word
• 4:29
  and
• 4:29
  the
• 4:29
  Father's,
• 4:29
  to
• 4:30
  show
• 4:30
  that
• 4:31
  real
• 4:31
  discernment
• 4:32
  is
• 4:32
  held
• 4:32
  together.
• 4:34
  Progressive
• 4:35
  faith
• 4:35
  practices,
• 4:36
  communal,
• 4:36
  accountable
• 4:37
  truth.
• 4:38
  We
• 4:38
  read
• 4:38
  scripture
• 4:39
  with
• 4:39
  the
• 4:39
  oppressed
• 4:40
  center.
• 4:42
  We
• 4:42
  submit
• 4:42
  our
• 4:42
  claims
• 4:43
  to
• 4:43
  the
• 4:43
  test
• 4:43
  of
• 4:44
  neighborly
• 4:44
  outcomes,
• 4:45
  I.e.
• 4:46
  does
• 4:46
  this
• 4:46
  reduce
• 4:47
  suffering?
• 4:48
  And
• 4:48
  we
• 4:48
  pair
• 4:48
  prayer
• 4:49
  with
• 4:50
  science,
• 4:50
  therapy
• 4:50
  and
• 4:51
  policy
• 4:51
  that
• 4:51
  protects
• 4:52
  dignity.
• 4:53
  Light
• 4:54
  becomes
• 4:54
  a
• 4:55
  shared
• 4:56
  practice.
• 4:57
  All
• 4:58
  this
• 4:58
  is
• 4:58
  about
• 4:59
  keeping
• 4:59
  knowing
• 5:00
  that
• 5:00
  the
• 5:00
  light
• 5:00
  is
• 5:01
  like
• 5:01
  a
• 5:01
  steady
• 5:02
  vision
• 5:03
  of
• 5:03
  kindness,
• 5:04
  of

  shared

  courage,

  and
• 5:05
  choosing

  people
• 5:06
  over

  posturing.
• 5:09
  Let's
• 5:09
  talk
• 5:09
  about
• 5:09
  an
• 5:09
  action
• 5:09
  step
• 5:10
  that
• 5:10
  you
• 5:10
  can
• 5:10
  take.
• 5:11
  Practice,
• 5:12
  quote
• 5:13
  a
• 5:13
  light
• 5:13
  check,
• 5:14
  that
• 5:14
  is
• 5:15
  take
• 5:15
  a
• 5:16
  few
• 5:16
  minutes
• 5:16
  the
• 5:17
  next
• 5:17
  few
• 5:17
  days
• 5:18
  to
• 5:18
  let
• 5:18
  Jesus
• 5:19
  light
• 5:20
  shape
• 5:20
  your
• 5:21
  concrete
• 5:21
  choices
• 5:22
  and
• 5:22
  actions.
• 5:23
  Maybe
• 5:24
  one
• 5:24
  area
• 5:24
  is
• 5:24
  in
• 5:24
  clarity.
• 5:25
  Name
• 5:25
  one
• 5:25
  area
• 5:26
  where
• 5:26
  there's
• 5:26
  confusion
• 5:27
  or
• 5:27
  fear
• 5:27
  that
• 5:27
  keeps
• 5:28
  you
• 5:28
  or
• 5:28
  maybe
• 5:28
  others
• 5:29
  stumbling.
• 5:31
  Might
• 5:31
  be
• 5:31
  in
• 5:31
  a
• 5:31
  relationship,
• 5:32
  a
• 5:32
  decision,
• 5:32
  a
• 5:33
  system,
• 5:33
  and
• 5:33
  ask
• 5:34
  what
• 5:34
  truth
• 5:34
  here
• 5:35
  would
• 5:35
  reduce
• 5:36
  harm.
• 5:37
  Second
• 5:38
  thing
• 5:38
  is
• 5:38
  proximity.
• 5:39
  Move
• 5:39
  towards
• 5:39
  someone
• 5:40
  who's
• 5:40
  in
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  shadows.

  Not

  now,
• 5:51
  just
• 5:51
  presence
• 5:52
  and

  listening.
• 5:54
  Another
• 5:55
  thing
• 5:55
  we
• 5:55
  can
• 5:55
  do
• 5:55
  is
