An Invitation From The King: The Light Show

An Invitation From The King: The Light Show

December 12, 2019

OPENING SCRIPTURE: In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God. HE was in the beginning with God. All things were made through HIM, and without HIM nothing was made that was made. IN HIM was life, and the life was the light of men (John 1:1-4)

  • This passage here brings meaning to Genesis 1 when God said “Let there be light”
  • John in this passage drawing a parallel between: Jesus being part of Elohim- (part of the trinity) being the word made flesh. More importantly here: Eternal life and The Light

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)

  • Jesus is at the temple in Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles
  • Jesus waited for the 9th day when the candles will be blown out, then He dropped the bomb: “I am The Light Of The World”
  • He identified Himself as not a light, but THE LIGHT- GOD. THE LIGHT OF NOT ONLY JERUSALEM BUT THE WHOLE WORLD.

Here’s what this statement mean for you and me:

HE LIGHTS OUR WAY

  • God does not want us to wander through life playing Russian roulette in the dark or in a trial and error mode without God. If it feels good, sounds good, looks good, then it must be God. Or You do You and I do Me, and it’s all good. No absolutes. He wants to be the LIGHT. The only true light and his light never changes

GOD IS LIGHT AND IN HIM IS NO DARKNESS AT ALL. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. BUT IF WE WALK IN THE LIGHT AS HE IS IN THE LIGHT, WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH ONE ANOTHER, AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST HIS SON CLEANSES US FROM ALL SIN. (1 John 1: 5-7)

  • Righteous- Right standing with God- NOT YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS BUT HIS.

ONLY FROM THAT POSITION OF RIGHTEOUSNESS CAN YOU REFLECT HIS LIGHT.

  • Jesus has passed His Light to us. YOU and ME! Our job is to reflect His light

REFLECT THE LIGHT

14 YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE BEFORE MEN, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

  • Reflect Him with our attitude, words, and actions
  • You reflect God when you say you say you’re sorry, You reflect God when You don’t engage in gossips

CONCLUSION

  • What is the Holy Spirit saying to you through this message?
