“The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.” (John 1:9-10)

Last week Tom continued the series of I Am Statements, looking at “I am the Light of the World”. Three main points were covered:
1) Jesus is the true light and through Him all light is given
2) No amount of darkness can extinguish the light – the light will prosper every time
3) We should be good witnesses of the light in all that we say and do

In Matthew 5:14-16 Jesus says that we are the light of the world, that we, much like a town on a hill should not be hidden and that we should share that light with others too. We often live in a dark world, the news does not always portray the light but God calls us to be a light in that darkness and to be a witness of all that is great about the light of the world – our God. When we behave like we have that light in us, even in the darkest times – our light will prosper. Finally Tom asked who you’ve shined your light on this week, and who has shared their’s with you. Let’s be a church of light, a church of encouragement and let’s let each other know when we receive that light and what that means to us. Let’s be people who help the world recognise the true light of Jesus Christ.
