I AM: Light of the World

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.” --John 8:12Have you ever been in one of those situations where you found yourself in utter darkness? Darkness that was so complete that if you put your hand in front of your face you couldn't see it or even appreciate any difference than when it wasn't in front of your face?----------Even in those occasions where such overwhelming darkness is experienced, one constant and absolute is that even the smallest of lights can be seen. As powerful and formidable as darkness can be, it cannot defeat darkness... or as John says, it can never extinguish it.----------This Sunday, we begin a mini-series within our ongoing series of messages from the book of John. As we look at some of the "I AM" statements that Jesus makes, we recognize His claim to being the exclusive source of true light, confirming His deity and claims to be the Son of God come into the world.
