#3 LIGHT - God is Light
“God is light ... and in Him is no darkness at all.” (1 John 1:5)
The disciples knew that Jesus was the Light of the world, we learnt that last week; He had told them so. They had seen in His life, words, and miracles, a glimpse of the glory of God.
When Jesus was transfigured on the mountain the disciples could see the true brightness of God’s glory. His face shone like the sun and his garments were glowing white. There was no doubt about it. Jesus was God’s Son. He was shining with heaven’s glory; God's light.

#5 LIGHT - Let your Light shine
Jesus doesn’t want us to keep our Christianity a secret. He wants us to tell others about Him! And do you know what the best way is to tell others about Him? It’s to do good to others.
In the Bible Jesus tells a story about doing good it is called the parable of the good Samaritan.

#6 LIGHT - Reflecting the Light
6 Pakanga pano murume akatumwa achibva kuna Mwari; zita rake rainzi Johani. 7 Iye akauya sechapupu kuzopupurira chiedza chiya, kuitira kuti vanhu vatende kubudikidza naye. (JOHANI 1: 6-7)
There was a man who was sent from God; his name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. (John 1: 6-7 NIV)
|
If we are going to reflect the light of Jesus, we must remember a couple of things:
• We must keep our faces turned toward Jesus.
• We must not let anything come between us.
When we remember those two things, we will reflect His light to the entire world.
