I Am the Light of the World

John 8:12, 9:1-5How do you read the Bible? Is it a reference book like a dictionary? Or is it a rule book for you? What if we read it as revelation about God? Good news: Jesus wants us to know who he is! In the second “I am” saying, Jesus shows us that he is the Light of the world. As we walk with him we become more like him. Our world could use a little more light.Quotes:Dallas Willard:  “God has yet to bless anyone except where they actually are, and if we faithlessly discard situation after situation, moment after moment, as not being ‘right,’ we will simply have no place to receive his kingdom into our life.Larry Nixon" “We cannot make the wind blow.  But we can set the sails.  Prayer sets the sails.Robert Bellah: "We should not underestimate the significance of the small group of people who have a new vision of a just and gentle world. The quality of a culture may be changed when 2 percent of its people have a new vision." A.W. Tozer:  "Our most pressing obligation today is to do all in our power to obtain a revival that will result in a reformed, revitalized, purified church.  It is of far greater importance that we have better Christians than that we have more of them."To discover more messages of hope, go to tallowood.org/sermons/.Follow us on X and YouTube @tallowoodbcFollow us on Instagram @tallowood.baptistFollow us on FaceBook @tallowoodbaptist
