REFLECTION: PSALM 36:7-9 MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 6:9-11 BENEDICTION: 1 Corinthians 15:58 Summary: Jesus declares Himself to be the Light of the World. He lights the way to LIFE & HEAVEN for those who follow Him, because that's who He is. Outside of Christ there is only darkness and death. Do we treasure Jesus to as the very light of life? How does this declaration impact our affections, appetites, and disciple-making? 1. JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WHOLE WORLD! John 8:12 Scripture points us God as ! See Malachi 4:2; Luke 1:78-79; John 1:14; Matthew 17 Notice the scene where Jesus claims this authority. See Psalm 36:9; John 1:9 2. CHRISTIANS WALK IN THE OF JESUS! See 1 John 1:5-7; Ephesians 5:8; Matthew 5:14; Philippians 2:15; 1 John 5:20 REMAINDER OF TEXT: John 8:20-30 3. WITHOUT CHRIST, THERE IS ONLY ! John 8:21-30 You can your opportunity You will die in your There is no for you if you do. DO WE REALLY BELIEVE THIS? Do you believe that Christ is the LIGHT of the World? Do you believe Followers of Jesus are the only ones headed toward true and everlasting life? Do you believe that those who don’t follow Jesus are headed toward destruction and death? How should we live...how has Christ commanded us to live in light of these truths?
