Barry discusses the account of the woman caught in adultery brought before Jesus when He says "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." (NIV). Sexual sin is taken seriously by Jesus, however, He loves her, and offers her the chance of redemption. We cannot condemn people for their sin, nor should we be blind to the fact of our own sin, but should humbly reach out to people in love.

Jesus says of Himself "I am the Light of the World" and Phil discusses this claim, illuminating some of the ideas that the phrase carries - light is representative of life, righteousness, truth, knowledge and salvation. Jesus has been sent by the Father and promises that those who follow Him will never be in darkness and the work of those who follow Him is to bring His light to the world.

Barry speaks on these verses which discuss the experiential side of becoming a Christian through the pouring out of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit gives the assurance of God's love and of salvation, takes away the fear of death, gives power to witness to Jesus and will flow out and bring blessing to others. Anyone who comes to Jesus and receives him as the Son of God and submits to him will receive the Holy Spirit and have their sins forgiven.

Barry speaks about making a right judgement about Jesus - based on logic and the facts we have to make a choice to do the will of God and to turn to follow Jesus.

Barry expounds the relationship between the Christian and the world and repeats John's exhortation to not love the world, but to love God; to rejoice in the salvation offered by Jesus Christ on the Cross and to reject the temptations of worldly things.
