THE LIFE THAT CHRIST GIVES

Sometimes we take for granted the life that Christ Jesus has given to us. Let us take some time to read again about the Life that we have been given.

In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.                                   

And the light shines in the darkness,

And the darkness did not comprehend it.     John 1:4-5 

  1. In Him was life

a) Earthly physical life

b) Eternal life

  1. The Life was the light of men

a) The new life in Christ also gives light

b) This light must be treasured

  1. The battle between Light and Darkness

a) Darkness will always try and snuff out light

b) But it will never be able to fully extinguish it

c) Light will always shine even in the darkest night

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

The Lord Jesus Christ clearly and wonderfully declared: –

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.”     John 8:12

  1. I am the Light of the world

a) What a profound statement

b) The Lord proved the veracity of His bold words

i)  In His life

ii) In His teachings

2. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness
