Summary
Jesus declares himself the light of the world (John 8:12), claiming to be God's presence, leadership, and provision—just as the pillar of fire guided Israel from Egypt. The sermon challenges believers to follow Jesus as their complete leader, not merely a life coach, and to become torchbearers pointing others from spiritual darkness to Christ.
Highlights
In your deepest need when you were sitting guilty before God the judge, the king got off the throne and he entered into your world and he dealt with your problems so that he could personally call you into relationship.
Jesus is not interested in just being at your wisdom table. If you're approaching Jesus as an add-on to your life, you're totally missing it because the presence of God came here to be king of your life.
You're not the savior of anyone but you have an opportunity to point people to where Jesus is, showing them the way out to where Jesus is.
