JESUS, The Light That Leads To Life: Part 1
This powerful message confronts one of the most pervasive challenges we face during the Christmas season: allowing darkness to overshadow the light that Jesus brought into the world. Drawing from Psalm 56:13 and John 8:12, we're reminded that Jesus is not just a historical figure born in Bethlehem, but the living light that leads us out of spiritual darkness into abundant and eternal life. The sermon challenges us to examine whether we've allowed depression, past tragedies, or cultural confusion to dim our spiritual vision. In a world where Isaiah's prophecy rings true—where people call evil good and good evil—we're called to make a deliberate choice: will we follow the light or remain in darkness? The message powerfully illustrates how Jesus experienced everything we face, making Him not a distant deity but an intimate Savior who understands our struggles. Most compelling is the call to not just receive light, but to become light-bearers ourselves. We're challenged to move beyond the timid 'this little light of mine' mentality and instead shine boldly, using both our lives and our words to point others toward eternal life. The question isn't whether we'll face darkness, but whether we'll choose daily to walk in the light that transforms, heals, and gives life abundantly.
