I AM the LIGHT OF THE WORLD

This sermon explores Jesus's declaration "I am the light of the world" from John 8:12, set during the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles. The message emphasizes that while the darkness of sin leads to death, the light of Jesus provides both eternal and abundant life. Jesus made this profound statement during the Ceremony of Light, when four massive 75-foot candelabras illuminated the temple, declaring that He is the fulfillment of God's presence that dwelt with Israel throughout their history. The sermon challenges listeners to believe in Jesus as the great "I AM," to step out of spiritual darkness, and to reflect His light to the world. For believers, this means walking in obedience through the Spirit, remaining connected to Christ, and proving their discipleship through fruit-bearing lives that glorify God.
