Bible Commentary

John 12:35

Jesus gave a loving warning: respond now, while you still can. Darkness is not just sad — it is dangerous. You lose your way. Light is a gift — don't ignore it.

Memory phrase: Walk in the light now.

Talk about it: What happens when you try to walk somewhere in complete darkness?

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me walk in Your light today.
