                     I.   LIGHT HAS COME INTO THE WORLD.

                            John chapter 1. 1 - 14  

                                   A.  Jesus the Christ is the Light. 

                                  B.  John the Baptist, was a witness to that

                                          Light. 

                                  C.  John the Apostle  - we beheld His glory

                           II.  THERE IS LIGHT FOR US 

                                 IN THIS DARK WORLD.   

                                  A. Source of this light - LIGHT FOR US. 

                                          John 8.12 Then spake Jesus, saying 

                                         unto them, I am the light of the world,

                                         he that followeth me shall not walk in 

                                         darkness, but shall have the light of life.

                                   B. Spirit of that Light -  LIGHT IN US.  

                                         I John 4.13    Hereby know we that we 

                                            dwell in him, and he in us, because he 

                                          hath given us of his Spirit.    

                                   C.  Shining of that Light.  

                                          LIGHT THROUGH US.

                                           Matthew 5. 14- 16  

 Ye are the light of the world,

 a city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.   

Neither do men light a candle 

and put it under a bushel,

 but on a candlestick; 

and it giveth light

 unto all 

that are 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.  

III.  RECEIVING THE LIGHT 
John 12. 32 -36
32. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, 
will draw all men unto me. 
33. This he said, signifying
 what death he should die.
34. The people answered him, We have
 heard out of the law that Christ abideth 
forever: and how sayest thou, 
The Son of man must be lifted up?  
Who is this Son of man?
35.  Then Jesus answered
 and said unto them, 
Yet a little while is the light with you. 
Walk while ye have the light, 
lest darkness come upon you, 
for he that walketh in darkness 
knoweth not whither he goeth.    
36.While ye have light, 
believe in the light, 
that ye may be the children of light. 

                                A. WHILE YE HAVE LIGHT -  
                            Opportunity to receive the Light is NOW.
                                 B.  TO BELIEVE IN THE LIGHT is 
                             like sitting in a chair - and knowing
                                it will hold you up. 
                                 C.   CONSIDER IT A PRIVILEGE 
                                        TO BE CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT, 
                                          AND SPREAD THE LIGHT    
                                         EVERYWHERE IN THE DARKNESS. 
                                                       
                                                    BE GRATEFUL

                  I THESSALONIANS 5. 17 

                    GIVE THANKS IN EVERYTHING, 

                   FOR THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD 

                            IN CHRIST JESUS CONCERNING YOU.
