I am the Light of the World

Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” John 8:12 NASB
I am the Light of the World John 8 v 12

Adam Clarke Commentary on John 8:12 Adam Clarke Bible Commentary Published 1810-1826

I am the light of the world – The fountain whence an intellectual light and spiritual understanding proceed: without me all is darkness, misery, and death. The Divine Being was, by the rabbins denominated, The light of the world. So in Bamidbar Rabba: “The Israelites said to God, O Lord of the universe, thou commandest us to light lamps to thee, yet thou art The Light of The World: and with thee the light dwelleth.” Our Lord, therefore, assumes here a well known character of the Supreme Being; and with this we find the Jews were greatly offended.


Shall not walk in darkness – He shall be saved from ignorance, infidelity, and sin. If he follow me, become my disciple, and believe on my name, he shall have my Spirit to bear witness with his, that he is a child of God. He shall have the light of life – such a light as brings and supports life. The sun, the fountain of light, is also the fountain of life: by his vivifying influences, all things live – neither animal nor vegetative life could exist, were it not for his influence. Jesus, the Sun of righteousness, Mal_4:2, is the fountain of all spiritual and eternal Life. His light brings life with it, and they who walk in his light live in his life. This sentiment is beautifully expressed and illustrated in the following inimitable verse (all monosyllables except one word) of that second Spenser, Phineas Fletcher. Speaking of the conversion of a soul to God, he says: –

“New Light new Love, new Love new Life hath bred;
A Life that lives by Love, and loves by Light:
A Love to him, to whom all Loves are wed;
A Light, to whom the sun is darkest night:
Eye’s Light, heart’s Love, soul’s only Life he is:
Life, soul, love, heart, Light, eye, and all are his:
He eye, Light, heart, Love, soul; He all my joy and bliss.”
Purple Island, Can. I. v. 7.

Who Am I by Casting Crowns – A song about You and Me

By

OnNovember 16, 2019

Inchristian songs, Praise & Worship

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 1 Corinthians 5:17

Casting Crowns is one of my favorite Christian Band.  This band is a Grammy Award and Dove Award winning Contemporary Christian/Christian Rock band. They started in 1999 by youth pastor Mark Hall at First Baptist Church in Downtown Daytona Beach, Florida. Mark Hall is the lead vocalist of Casting Crowns.

Who Am I really tells a story about you and me relating to our relationship with  God,  our Father Almighty. The lyrics are penned in a layman’s perspective and was recorded beautifully to emphasize nuggets of important biblical teachings and values.

In some of  my favorite verses, God’s said:

“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.” Jeremiah 1:5

“I am familiar with all your ways.” –  Psalm 139:3

“Even the very hairs on your head are numbered.” –  Matthew 10:29-31

“I determined the exact time of your birth and where you would live.”  – Acts 17:26

I have always been Father, and will always be Father. Ephesians 3:14-15

Who Am I  Lyrics
Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Bridge:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you’ve done.
Not because of what I’ve done,
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I’m calling,
Lord, you catch me when I’m falling,
And you’ve told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
Cause I am yours..
I am yours..

The Shocking Truth Behind Jehovah’s Witnesses

InEvangelism, Featured, Headline

This is a very practical teaching presentation of The Way of the Master by Livingwaters Ministry of Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron. On the video description on their Youtube Channel, they wrote: “The Jehovah’s Witnesses are best known for going door-to-door. You have probably seen them in your area, and more than likely they have knocked on your door. They recently spent over 1.2 billion hours in one year proclaiming the “good news of Jehovah and His Kingdom”. What do they believe, and more important, how can you effectively reach them with the truth? This episode will tell you what to say.” I highly recommend that every Christian must watch this video to understand what Jehovah’s Witnesses believe and we can point out the truth of the Word of God if we truly care for them for salvation. Make Sure you share this link on your social media accounts or send to someone who might need this. God bless you.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. – John 1:1
