John 8:12-20
ILLUS. - Bear Creek Cave - Bear Creek. This is the kind of place they make horror movies about, but other than that it was awesome. Climbing through caves is called ''spelunking'' did you know that? We went all through this cave, we had to crawl under ledges, climb, it was dark wet, slippery. There were bats. It was creepy, particularly with a crowd of middle schoolers. Then they brought us into this big open room deep in the cave, and made us turn off our flashlights. It was total darkness. The kind of darkness that will make you go crazy. You could not see your hand in front of your face. It was the most darkness I had experienced.
When you are in total darkness that means there is zero light and what happens in darkness... you can't see... it means there are things that are there you don't know about, you are more likely to harm yourself, your whole world is shaped by it.
Today Jesus we see Jesus claims to be the Light of the World. - Just in that statement he's telling us something about our lives, and about the world around us. If He's the light then apart from Him we... and the world is in darkness... can't see your hand in your face darkness. The kind that can make you crazy, the kind that can get you hurt, the kind that shapes your life and our culture in all the wrong ways.
As we explore Jesus as the Light of the World today we are going to learn more about what Jesus can do in our lives and longs to do in our lives just because of who He is.
Jn. 8:12-20- 12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ''I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'' 13 So the Pharisees said to him, ''You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.'' 14 Jesus answered, ''Even if I do bear witness about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know wher ...
