To the dead man, Jesus was life. To the prostitute, He was a second chance. To the searching, He was the long-awaited answer. Discover what it means when He says, "I Am Jesus." This eight-week series inspects the different ways Jesus represents Himself in the Bible. First sermon in the series.

Episode Notes

John 8:12, I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

Jesus is our source of LIGHT ...  Totally COMMIT to Him.


1. The Law reveals our GUILT

John 8:2-6, Early in the morning He came again to the temple. All the people came to Him, and He sat down and taught them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do You say?” This they said to test Him, that they might have some charge to bring against Him. 

  • Unless we see ourselves as SINNERS ...  We won't see our need for a SAVIOR


2. The Love reveals God's GRACE

John 8:6-11, Jesus bent down and wrote with His finger on the ground. And as they continued to ask Him, He stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” And once more He bent down and wrote on the ground. But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before Him. Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”

  • Listen to the voice of the SAVIOR...  Not the lies of the ACCUSER


3. The Light reveals our HOPE

John 8:11-12, And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.” Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

  • Jesus is not just Light of THE world...  He is the light of YOUR world


Ephesians 5:8, Walk as children of light.
