    What does it mean when Jesus says He is the Light of the World? He spoke to a culture thoroughly verse in the Old Covenant, and so to understand the significance of His words, we will need to explore what the people heard when He spoke.

    ”Again Jesus spoke to [the Jewish leaders], saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’ So the Pharisees said to him, ‘You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.’ Jesus answered, ‘Even if I do bear ...read more

    Jesus gives His second sermon on "The I AM's of Jesus" in the context of the Feast of Tabernacles. There is a great significance in His choice to bring this message, "I am the light of the World" at the closing of this feast.

    THE INDISPENSABLE LIGHT Of CHRIST (John 8:12-20) Did you ever consider the fact that the Lord Jesus gave sermons? Much of what Jesus taught concerned the witness of Himself. One of the sermon series that Jesus preached is the “I AM” sayings of Jesus, which were emphatic ...read more

    Jerusalem Lesson: Christ—The Light of the World John 8:12-20 Jesus had a method that He often followed. After an incident or a miracle, He gives a discourse on that subject. (John 8:12) Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk ...read more

They¡¦d like to yell, ¡§Who do you think you are!¡¨ but He just got finished telling them who He was. His self-disclosure is indeed outrageous if it isn¡¦t true. ...read more
