Preparation
-
Read, ponder, and pray about the following scriptures:
-
a. John 7. Jesus attends the Feast of Tabernacles and teaches in the temple. Some people believe he is the Christ, while others think he is a deceiver.
-
b. John 8:1–11. A woman taken in adultery is brought to Jesus. He treats her with compassion.
-
c. John 8:12–36. Jesus declares, “I am the light of the world.” He teaches the believing Jews that following him will free them from spiritual bondage.
-
Suggestion for teaching: Always review your lesson at least a week in advance. When you read the selected scriptures early, you will receive thoughts and impressions during the week that will help you teach the lesson. As you ponder the lesson during the week, pray for the Spirit to guide you and have faith that the Lord will bless you. (See Teaching, No Greater Call [36123], pages 22–23, 97–99.)
