The Imagery of Light

Text: John 3:19-20

“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.”

John 3:19

THE IMAGERY OF LIGHT

1. Jesus is the Light sent by God (John 1:4a).

2. The Light of God comes with life (John 1:4b).

3. The fullness of that Light is seen in the Lord Jesus Christ when He came into the world.

4. The brightness of the Light He brought is evidenced in His life.

5. He offers “light” to all who would come to Him in faith.

a. In His Light we see a great and loving God.
b. In the Light of His teaching we see hope of salvation and not condemnation.
c. In the Light of His love we have a hope of forgiveness of sins.
d. In the Light of Christ Jesus, we will not be condemned but have everlasting life.
e. In the Light of the gospel we are able to come to have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
f. In the Light of this new life given to us, we are able to enjoy a wonderful relationship with God.
g. We are enabled to walk in the Light and not in darkness anymore.

THE IMAGERY OF DARKNESS

1. Darkness is the opposite of “light”.

2. A solemn truth declared

a. People love darkness more than light.
b. Many find it hard to do the following:
i. To admit that there are sins in life.
ii. To confront these sins.
iii. To confess these sins to God.
iv. They refuse to give up their sinful ways.
c. The darkness of evil:
i. Evil entraps and enslaves.
ii. Dark deeds of evil remain unconfessed and thus unforgiven.
d. Condemnation takes place because the offer of salvation from Jesus the Saviour is rejected.

经文:约翰福音 3：19-20

黑暗的意象
