In John 12:46-47, Jesus says, "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness. As for those who hear my words but do not keep them, I do not judge them. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save it."

In sports, it's like a coach who has come to shed light on the game for his team. He wants to make sure that everyone understands the game plan so that they can succeed. The coach has no intention of judging his players if they make mistakes on the field. Instead, he wants to help them learn from their mistakes and improve their skills.

Similarly, Jesus has come into the world as a light to help us understand the game of life. He wants us to believe in him so that we don't stay in the darkness of sin and despair. And just like a coach, Jesus doesn't judge us if we make mistakes. Instead, he wants to help us learn from them and become better people.

So, let's listen to Jesus' words and keep them close to our hearts. Let's trust in him to guide us through the ups and downs of life, just like a coach guides his team to victory on the field.
