I AM the Light of the World
Jesus said, "I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
John 8:2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women.Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
When Jesus says he is the light of the world, he describes his ability to call someone to leave a life “darkened by” sin and walk in freedom from the condemnation of others - who are just as sin-filled in their own way.
Jesus is the Light of the World, the one who REVEALS our Darkness.
The Hypostatic Union states that Jesus is both Fully HUMAN and Fully DIVINE.
To know Jesus is to know the Father.
Jesus is the Light of the World, the one who HEALS Us so We Can See.
John 12:36 Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.”
Matthew 5:14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 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. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Benediction
May you jump into the arms of Jesus.
And may He push you out in the world.
May you be healed as you participate in the healing of others.
Not because you must but because you may.
This is why we were born!
