What's the Deal With the Light? John 8:12-19

Have you ever wondered what the big deal was with the "Light" that Jesus always talked about? If you've ever been in church or ever heard Shaun speak (which you should have...if not...I'm sad...jk) you've heard the phrase or phrases "I am the Light of the World..." or "You must walk in the light as He is in the light..." these two statements are profound if you think about them for a second but it's easy to lose sight of them because they're used so often that it kind of becomes a lost point with us...

So, the question is, what's the big deal about the light?

Well, there's four things about the light that you need to know about if you truly do want Christ to be the light of your life and you want to grow in Him and let others know about Him.

1. Let the Light guide you and let your light guide others (verse 12)

2. Don't ignore the light...God's light will shine for you if you'll be willing to see it...(verse 13-14)

3. Focus on the light and the light in others (verses 15-16)...You ever known that person that claims they're a Christian, yet all YOU see is darkness? Maybe there needs to be a perspective change so you them in the light of Christ, and then you can focus on the light of Christ and the light of others.

4. Recognize the light (verse 17-19)...Can you even see God? Or are there so many things going on in your life that you're light is shaded and God's light is almost non-existent?

• We have got to realize that we need Jesus in order to get through life.


• We've got to dive into relationship with Jesus and love others in the process.


• We've got to run the race set before us in life and not run from it.


• We've got to spread the news of God's gift to us.

THESE ARE ALL EVIDENCES OF THE LIGHT OF CHRIST IN YOU!!!

My encouragement to you?...Quit living in the Darkness and come into God's light for you...love you guys...Grace and Peace!!!
