John 1:1-18 (Pew Bible Page 1,127)
Christmas Lights Remind Us… Jesus is the Light of the World Life = deity (only Jesus can give life) Light = how we see God
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 8:12~
What the Light Does Shows us who God is—1 John 1:5 This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
What the Light Does Guides us on how to live Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. ~Psalm 119:105~
Jesus is the Light of the World There is No Other Light
Christmas Lights Remind Us… There’s a Battle Between Light and Dark Light Always Wins—v. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Christmas Lights Remind Us… We Shine Christ’s Light—v. 9 The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.
For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. ~Romans 1:19-20~
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. ~Matthew 5:16~
