Jesus said, “I am the light of the world,” meaning not an artificial light that is extinguished or burns out. “I am the eternal light of the world.” No more darkness – if you know me you have the light of life. But now check this out: in his Sermon on the Mount “You are the light of the world …Let your light shine before men that ...

- I am struck the way William Barclay describes the time:
Let’s press that point and examine the victims of darkness in verses 4-5. Every human being is infected with sin. The Bible is clear on this point. There is no human being that is good. There is no human being that deserves to go to heaven. I know this applies to me more than most. But the fact is that if Jesus did not die for our sins, we wo...
That seems like a tall order but verse 6 describes the scope and power of light. We know that no one needs to live in darkness. Jesus came to die for the sins of the whole world. It doesn’t matter where you came from. It doesn’t matter how bad or evil you may think you are. It doesn’t matter if you think you are not worthy to receive salvation...
In verses 1-2 we encounter some unlikely recipients of Light. We often see this scene as Three Eastern Kings visiting the newborn Jesus. In fact we sing the Christmas carol, “We Three Kings.” As we examine the text carefully, we can see that not much in that description is certain. Let’s look at the timeframe first. Verse 1 starts out, “After ...
On the other hand, we are introduced to some unlikely participants in darkness in verses 3-8. When you stop to think about it, they are not really unlikely candidates to reject Jesus. The first person we meet is King Herod. Herod was appointed ruler of Judea by Rome and was king from 47bc to 4bc. He was a very effective ruler. He rebuilt the c...
In verses 9-12 we can see how light reveals the truth. The presence of Jesus revealed the Jewish priests and religious leaders of the day as phonies. Jesus revealed Herod to be a murderous madman filled with pride and the lust for power. But here it reveals the Magi as true believers. They followed the star to Bethlehem and found the house Jesu...
In verse 1 he talks about the necessity of reflecting light. He said he was a prisoner to the fact Jesus saved him and wanted to save all people. Paul did not want one single person to perish. He was a Jew and yet he wanted people from all over the world to be saved. There is no room in Christianity for prejudices or personal grudges. God wants...
The method of reflecting light is described in verses 7-12. The Apostle never forgot where he came from. Even though his fellow Jews would have looked up to him and revered him, Paul realized he was nothing but a murderer. He never forgot the killing of Steven. Even though he only held the coats of those who killed him, Paul never got over the ...
“There is not the slightest need to think that the story of the coming of the Magi to the cradle of Christ is only a lovely legend. It is exactly the kind of thing that could easily have happened in that ancient world. When Jesus Christ came the world was in an eagerness of expectation. Men were waiting for God and the desire for God was in thei...

A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bushel, Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." When Jesus told us we are the light of the world ...
Jan 16, 2014 · Mark 11:12-26. Turn Out the Lights, the Party’s Over! Jesus Cursed the Tree 12-14. His physical hunger 12; humanity.
