Light in Darkness

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

John 8:12 ESV

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

John 9:5 NKJV

1. DARKNESS DOESN'T GET THE LAST WORD, JESUS DOES

The light shines in the darkness and the darkness can never extinguish it. 

John 1:5 NLT

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:14-16 NIV

For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true.

Ephesians 5:8-9 NLT

2. BE THE JESUS THAT SOMEONE NEEDS TODAY

3. SHINE A LIGHT THAT OUTLIVES YOUR LIFE

Those who are wise will shine as bright as the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever.

Daniel 12:3 NLT

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
