Jesus was in the women’s court, in the treasury where He was teaching. This is where offerings were brought. Here, where women place their offerings, is the place where he chose to also teach and declare to religious authorities that “I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
Life has light.
Understanding comes when one follows Jesus.
Jesus, the one who exists, the great I AM; made manifest.
Follow Him.
What a declaration made in the very place of offerings to God Most High. Once again Jesus is challenged by human authority and He proclaims His legal authority. In this place, at this time, Jesus is untouchable by the sin and rejection of mans authority. They want to take Him down, but no one dares. What a testimony in itself. Jesus challenged in the highest place of mans self-imposed authority with the truth of His authority. The witness sat in teaching mode and he was not removed. Those who were truly seeking must have been deeply impacted. Jesus also sat where the women were allowed. He did not make Himself exclusive to the men in the inner courts, but He chose to speak where all could listen.
I rejoice that He comes for us all. I accept the fullness of who He has made me and seek to follow His light that I may understand Him and serve Him. All glory to Jesus, the face of Our Father and the embodiment of the Holy Spirit.
