I Am The Light Of The World | I Am (Week 2) | Rex Keener

Grace Fellowship Church

Join us for the next installment in our "I Am" series with the powerful message, "I Am the Light of the World." Grounded in John 8:12, John 9:5, and 1 John 1:5-7, this sermon explores the profound implications of Jesus being the Light. The central idea is clear: when we walk in the light as He is in the light, we experience fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus purifies us from all unrighteousness. The exploration begins by shedding light on the stark contrast between light and darkness in spiritual understanding. Consider the image painted by Proverbs 4:18-19, revealing the path of the righteous as a dawn that shines ever brighter until the full light of day, while the way of the wicked is shrouded in deep darkness. This imagery sets the stage for understanding the transformative power of Jesus as the Light. In 2 Corinthians 4:3-4, we're reminded that the god of this world can blind minds to the light of the gospel, underscoring the spiritual discernment required to comprehend the profound truths offered by Christ. The exploration then delves into the foundational question: What does it mean that Jesus is the Light? Drawing insights from Isaiah 60:19-20 and Revelation 21:23-25, we grasp the profound impact of Jesus as our everlasting light, bringing an end to days of sorrow and eliminating the need for external sources of light. Moving forward, the sermon examines what it looks like to live in the light, emphasizing vital fellowship with God and refreshing fellowship with one another. The message unpacks the truth that walking in the light involves confessing sins and experiencing the purifying work of Jesus, resulting in fellowship with one another and, most importantly, with God. Finally, we are challenged to let our light shine, as Matthew 5:16 encourages us to showcase our good deeds for the glory of our heavenly Father. This practical application emphasizes the transformative power of living in the light of Christ, radiating His love, grace, and truth in a world hungry for genuine goodness. Don't miss this enlightening message that explores the transformative power of living in the light of Christ. Join us as we learn to navigate fellowship with God and one another while allowing our light to shine brightly in a world that needs the radiance of Jesus. We pray this message from March 10, 2024 will bless you!!
