Jesus the Light of the World | Bob Marsch | Light Up The Night
Update: 2022-04-01
Description
John opens his Gospel with ‘In the beginning…’a clear reference to the creation account in Genesis, and then John moves quickly to describe the life in Jesus as “the light of all humankind” (John 1:4). This light shines in the darkness and does not overcome it. John continues to weave this metaphor of light throughout his gospel— a metaphor that is found prominently in the Old Testament prophets. Jesus in John’s Gospel is revealed to be the essence of enlightenment itself revealing truth that had once been hidden under a veil of darkness. Jesus comes to show us a better way. This comes to the forefront in John 8, where Jesus declares on the Feast of Tabernacles that he is the light of the world. In the dark, we grope and grasp to understand, but in the light, we see as things are revealed to us. On the third Sunday of Advent, we will consider what it means for Jesus to be the promised light of the world.
