The Light of Life

We are continuing with our series on four of the seven "I Am" statements Jesus made, as recorded in the gospel of John. This week we celebrate the blessing that Jesus is the Light of the World! What does that mean for us? It means that Jesus is the light of my world, and your world, and anyone's world when they follow Jesus. It's a global thing and it's a personal thing. How awesome is God!

You may be familiar with the story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery. It's found in John 8:1-12. We will look at that story in detail this Sunday, for it precedes the statement, "I Am Jesus, the Light of the World". In this story we find Jesus going beyond the law by adding grace to the situation. That grace is the light needed to dispel the darkness of that moment and of the woman's life.

What situations in your life need light and crave a new direction? We all have them and we all have access to the one who is light. Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life, Jesus is the Good Shepherd, and Jesus is the Light of the World. And whoever follows Jesus shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life! Come just as you are and encounter the light of your world.
