Contemplation (verse 46)
Behold, again He grasps their faith and fixes it on Himself, and effects at once two most useful ends. For on the one hand in professing Himself to be Light He proves that He is God by Nature, for so to be called befits Him alone Who is in His Nature God; and on the other hand by adding the cause of His coming, He brings a blush to the cheek of any man who thinks but little of loving Him. Because we evidently must understand that those who had not yet believed on Him are as yet in darkness, inasmuch as to be in the light that flows from Him is theirs only who have believed on Him
+ Cyril of Alexandria
Personal Reflection
Do we reflect on Christ being the light in our life? Many times we forget this and choose to walk in darkness, where we stumble and fall.
Bible Knowledge Question
Jesus clarifies that He does not speak of His own authority? What does He mean?
Prayer
Dear Lord, You came to show us the way to Salvation. Through You we may obtain salvation because You are the Light. Let us immerse ourselves in Your light that it may guide our journey to eternal life
