John 8:12
John 8:12
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, " I am the light of the
world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have
the light of life."
The Darkness of Error
If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in
darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
1 John 1:6
The Darkness of Error
And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the
world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their
deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light
and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be
exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his
deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.“
John 3:19-21
The Darkness of Error
" No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one
and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and
despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
Matthew 6:24
The Light of Life
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free." They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants,
and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, '
You will be made free '?" Jesus answered them, " Most
assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.
And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son
abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall
be free indeed.
John 8:32-36
The Light of Life
The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And
upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has
dawned." From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "
Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.“
Matthew 4:16-17
The Light of Life
Then Jesus said to them, " A little while longer the light is with
you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you;
he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.
John 12:35
The Light of Life
And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not
comprehend it.
John 1:5
How to be lead by the Light of Christ
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so
must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him
should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:14-16
How to be lead by the Light of Christ
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that
you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to
God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be
conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of
your mind, that you may prove what is that good and
acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:1-2
How to be lead by the Light of Christ
Then Jesus said to them, " A little while longer the light is with
you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you;
he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.
John 12:35
When we don’t know where we are going…
Then He said:" A certain man had two sons. And the younger of
them said to his father, " Father, give me the portion of goods
that falls to me. ' So he divided to them his livelihood. And not
many days after, the younger son gathered all together,
journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions
with prodigal living. But when he had spent all, there arose a
severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want.
When we don’t know where we are going…
Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country,
and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would
gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate,
and no one gave him anything. " But when he came to himself,
he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have bread
enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and
go to my father, and will say to him, " Father, I have sinned
against heaven and before you,
When we don’t know where we are going…
and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like
one of your hired servants." " And he arose and came to his
father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him
and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed
him. And the son said to him, ' Father, I have sinned against
heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called
your son. '
When we don’t know where we are going…
But the father said to his servants, ' Bring out the best robe and
put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his
feet. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and
be merry; for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was
lost and is found. ' And they began to be merry.
Luke 15:11-24
Conclusion
I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the
Gentiles, to whom I now send you, to open their eyes, in order
to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of
Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an
inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me. ‘
Acts 26:17-18
Conclusion
But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are
perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do
not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ,
who is the image of God, should shine on them. For we do not
preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your
bondservants for Jesus ' sake.
Conclusion
For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of
darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:3-6
