Week 7 | Who is Jesus? | The Light of the World
On the eighth day of the feast of tabernacles Jesus, in the treasury of the temple, makes a cosmic claim about who he is: “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).
Taking us into the context of this passage, Darrell illuminates the layers of cultural meaning of Jesus making this claim, in this place, on that day. As those who seek to follow Jesus, Darrell unpacks several implications of this claim. Because Jesus is the light of the world, we are not in the dark about who God is, what it means to be truly human, the troubles of our world, where to find healing. Instead, as we walk with the One who is the light of life, Jesus colours our vision of reality anew, enabling us to truly see.
