“John 8:12”

“chapter 8 verse 12. John 8 and verse 12. Jesus spoke to them saying, I am the light of the world. whoever follows me will not walk in what? Darkness, but will have the light of life. Then drop down to verse 21, same chapter. I just can't read all of these verses. It's such a long text, but I want you to get the heart of this. And then he said to them again, I'm going away”

“were to read through the Gospel of John, there are seven I am statements, and I think they're important to understanding um, as we go forward. In John 6:35, he says, I am the bread of life. John 8:12, I am the light of the world. John 10:9, I am the gate. John 10:11, I am the good shepherd. 11:25, I'm the resurrection and the life. In 14:7 he says, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." And then”

“which verses which of these kind of stuck out to you you know because going through all of these is really neat but then um you know so yeah going through them but but go ahead and i thought john 8 12 that you know the way that this is written one of my favorite chunks of scripture you're just going to get a side note here is um the the story that's above with the adulterous woman and so i think it's fascinating that this comes and so john 8 verse 11 this is after jesus asks her has anyone condemned you and she says no”

“physical field whose life and growth require water and sunshine, so do we. And in his kingdom, Jesus is the source of both. Jesus proclaims in John 8:12 that he is the light of the world. He is our sunshine. And in John 4:10, he declares he is the source of the living”

“will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed but whoever lives by the truth comes into the light so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of god and i think that there's such a humility there it made me think of the unleavened you know the unleavened bread we which we talked about you know the feast of unleavened bread and bringing things out into the light and getting rid of it and so it made me think of that and then i also liked john 8 12 and please go ahead and type in you know”

“It starts with the first one, the recognition of God's sovereignty among the nations. Recognition of God's sovereignty. In John 8, verse 12, we've read this already, but it says, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. So think about this for a moment. What Jesus is saying here in this verse, before he talks about truth, before he talks about freedom, he says, I am the light of the world.”

“And we saw that true freedom can only be fully known in Christ and that our nation was founded on the ideals of liberty found in the pages of the Bible. This morning, week two of our series, we're going to look at what we're calling the pathway to freedom. It's laid out not by our founding fathers, but by Jesus himself. So turn with me, if you will, to John chapter 8. That's where we're going to be. If you have sermon notes or if you have your Bible there, turn to John chapter 8. We're actually going to start in verse 12. I want to read you a few of these passages,”
