I Am the Light of the World (John 8:12-30) | Jen Wilkin

"At TGCW24, Jen Wilkin shares Jesus’s second I AM statement, “I AM the Light of the World" from John 8:12-30. We all have first-hand experience of the darkness and brokenness that exists in our world. Jesus, the light that shines in the darkness, offers the “light of life” to anyone who follows him. Jesus’ message confronts the darkness in our hearts and in our world and offers us great hope in all of it. 📝ON THIS VIDEO: 00:00 Jesus as the Light of the World: introduction and context 4:05 The symbolism of light in Scripture 11:37 Jesus' use of light as a metaphor 15:20 The Feast of Tabernacles and its significance 16:14 The manifest presence of God in the Old Testament 31:13 The role of light in the New Testament 31:32 The challenge of lesser lights 36:53 The role of the church in carrying the light 45:29 The collective impact of believers' light" from the video introduction
