Jesus the Light of the World

John 8
The Pharisees bring a women before Jesus to test Him. Pointing out her sin Jesus points them back to their own sin. He then tells them plainly I Am the Light of the world. Follow Me. You judge according to the flesh I am not judging anyone. I go away and you will seek Me and will die in your sin. You are of this world I am not of this world. Unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.
They question Jesus and ask, who are You? When you lift up the Son of Man, you will know that I am He and that I speak the things My Father taught Me. And He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him. At that point many believed in Jesus. Continue in My word then you are truly disciples of Mine. You will know the truth and the truth will make you free.
We have never been enslaved! Jesus replies everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. So if the Son makes you free you will be free indeed. Jesus tells them you are doing the deeds of your Father for you seek to kill Me.
