Before we go into scriptures about how Jesus is the Light Of The World, I want to share two songs.
Here comes the letdown Christmas is over, Here comes the meltdown, there goes the cheer, But before we have a breakdown, let us remember, The light of the world is still here, Happy day after Christmas And merry rest of the year, Even when Christmas is over, The light of the world is still here, The light of the world.
There is a candle in every soul, Some brightly burning, some dark and cold, There is a Spirit who brings fire, Ignites a candle and makes His home, Carry your candle, run to the darkness, Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn, Hold out your candle for all to see it, Take your candle, and go light your world, Take your candle, and go light your world, Frustrated brother, see how he's tried to Light his own candle some other way, See now your sister, she's been robbed and lied to Still holds a candle without a flame, Carry your candle, run to the darkness, Seek out the lonely, the tired and worn, Hold out your candle for all to see it, Take your candle, and go light your world, Take your candle, and go light your world.
We are a family whose hearts are blazing, So let's raise our candles and light up the sky, Praying to our Father, in the name of Jesus, Make us a beacon in darkest times, Carry your candle, run to the darkness
Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor, Hold out your candle for all to see it, Take your candle, and go light your world.
John 8 verse 12: When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Matthew 5 verse 14-16: “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 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. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Psalm 119 verse 105: Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
John 9 verse 5: While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
1 John 1 verse 5: This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
Ephesians 5 verse 8: For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.
James 1 verse 17: Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
Psalm 18 verse 28: You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.
Isaiah 60 verse 1: “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
Genesis 1:3: And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
In these scriptures we see that as we get ready to begin the start of a new year, we know that God is The Light Of The World we realize what Christmas means to us this season and everyday as we step into Christmas but as we mainly step out into Faith this coming year and we see how God lights our way. We see that God shows us that the darkness of what the enemy tries to rob of our joy will flee cause He will light the path to righteousness and will light our way back to Him and we will know that nothing can ever come between the relationship we have with Christ because Christ will always be the Light.
This is what I want to end on with all of you as we remember all of this tonight because I feel it is important that we end with this reminder of why Christ is always The Light Of The World everyday.
Accept Nothing Less Than Jesus
Be Satisfied with nothing less than
Jesus abiding in your life.
He is the Light Of The World.
He is the Life Of The World.
He is your Savior,
Your Lord,
And Friend.
He has promised to come to you
and abide with you.
Then accept nothing less than
Jesus in your life.
Invite Him into your heart.
Embrace Him.
Talk often with your Friend, and
His Light Will Fill Your Life.
