John 8:12-30
Jesus Christ is our victory. The Bible says, that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.

1. The profession of deity (12)
In a simple yet profound statement, Jesus expresses WHO He is, WHAT He requires, and WHAT we can expect if we follow Him.
A. The declaration He repeats (12a)
As a Master Teacher, Jesus knows repetition is a great was to learn.
Twice in this gospel, Jesus makes the claim to be the l ...
