  Welcome to Faithful Friday.
• 0:02
  Today we'll spend a few moments in Scripture, reflection, and prayer.
• 0:06
  If you're driving or unable to pause right now, simply listen and come back to this reflection later when you can give it your full attention.
• 0:13
  Today's scripture comes from John chapter 8, verses 12 through 20.
• 0:19
  Again, Jesus spoke to the Pharisees, saying, I am the light of the world.
• 0:24
  He who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.
• 0:30
  The Pharisees then said to him, You are bearing witness to yourself, your testimony is not true.
• 0:36
  Jesus answered, Even if I do bear witness to myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I have come from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or
• 0:48
  where I am going.
• 0:50
  You judge according to the flesh, I judge no one.
• 0:53
  Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true.
• 0:57
  For it is not I alone that judge, but I and he who sent me.
• 1:02
  In your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
• 1:07
  I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me.
• 1:13
  They said to him therefore, Where is your father?
• 1:16
  Jesus answered, You know neither me nor my father, if you knew me, you would know my father also.
• 1:23
  These words he spoke in the treasury as he taught in the temple, but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
• 1:36
  I'll ask you now to reflect on this question.
• 1:40
  Are you walking in God's light or relying on your own understanding?
• 1:46
  I'll invite you to pause this recording now.
• 1:48
  Spend a few moments talking with God about what you heard, ask him what he wants you to understand, where he is calling you to grow, and what steps he wants you to take next.
• 1:58
  When you're ready, come back and we'll close together in prayer.
• 2:08
  Welcome back.
• 2:09
  Let's pray the prayer Jesus taught us.
• 2:13
  Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
• 2:22
  Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
• 2:34
  Amen.
• 2:37
  As you go into your day, carry this scripture with you.
• 2:40
  Ask yourself: this week, where do you see God showing up in your life?
• 2:45
  Thank you for joining me for Faithful Friday.
• 2:47
  I'll see you next week.
