John 8:12-30 Throughout John's Gospel, he makes it

abundantly clear that Jesus has come to make Himself known as the

Son of God. Such knowledge is necessary for eternal life and is, in

fact, the very essence of that life (John 17:3). Our current

passage of study contains important pieces of theology (the

knowledge of God) whereby we would not be amiss upon that which God

requires for eternal life. Here, Jesus presents Himself as "the

Light of the world" so that we will walk not in

darkness.
