Jesus replied, “Now is not the right time for me to go, but you can go anytime. 7The world can’t hate you, but it does hate me because I accuse it of doing evil.

“Is there a single one of us rulers or Pharisees who believes in him? This foolish crowd follows him, but they are ignorant of the law. 

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”

 But he was not arrested, because his time had not yet come.

Lord God my Father,

Embrace my heart and lead me into your desire for this day, allow me to fully see your light and resist this world’s ways. Thank you for your comfort.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
