Light of the World

When we try to walk without light, we can find our path determined by what we blindly follow. We grab onto anything of substance when we cannot see. Minister Aaron Hill continues his series on the gospel of John in chapter 8, verse 12, in which Jesus declares that He is the light. John follows three themes throughout the book: light, bread, and water. Interestingly, and no doubt intentionally, these three elements are also found in Exodus as Moses leads the children of Israel through the wilderness. The pillar of fire is the light they follow. Manna is the bread they eat, and on more than one occasion, God, though Moses, provides them with water. Jesus is the light of the world. He declares Himself the True Light, and the True Light gives light to everyone. In response, we will either go to it, or we'll flee from it. Which way will we choose?
